Fuchsias 'Achievement' (Fuchsia 'Achievement')

Fuchsias 'Achievement'

The fuchsias 'Achievement' is a small and compact deciduous fuchsia cultivar. It blooms in early to late summer, and later will produce tiny, decorative fruits. It tolerates all soil types and acidities provided it is well-drained and there is plenty of sunlight. However, it cannot handle hot summers, too much humidity, or drought, so proper care for this cultivar can be an 'achievement' in and of itself.

Water: The fuchsias 'Achievement' needs regular watering, especially in summer, to keep the soil moist (not waterlogged), requiring daily checks for potted plants. It thrives in humidity, so misting is beneficial, particularly in dry indoor environments.

Fertilize: Fertilize your fuchsias 'Achievement' with a balanced fertilizer at quarter strength once a week during the blooming season. If relocating your fuchsias 'Achievement' indoors in fall, cease fertilization two weeks prior to moving. This practice promotes abundant flowering throughout the season.

Pruning: Fuchsias 'Achievement' features beautiful drooping flowers and thrives with early spring pruning. Remove dead wood and cut back last year's growth to maintain shape. Regular pruning enhances plant health and bloom vibrancy. Avoid late pruning to minimize frost damage, following best practices for optimal ornamental appeal.

Propagation: Propagate fuchsias 'Achievement' from cuttings taken in spring to autumn. Cut 2-4 inch tips, remove lower leaves, and place in a 3-inch pot with moist medium. Cover with ventilated plastic, keep warm, and roots should develop in 3-4 weeks. Gradually acclimatize once rooted.
