Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly in winter.
Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back young stems regularly. Remove spent flowers to promote more blooms.
Hard prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to rejuvenate older plants and improve flowering.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or autumn. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment.
Roots usually form within 4-6 weeks.
Repot Fuchsia X every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally with added perlite or grit for aeration.
Repot in spring before active growth starts.
