Water:
The fuchsias 'Garden News' needs regular watering, especially in summer when soil should remain moist but not waterlogged. Potted fuchsias 'Garden News' may require daily watering, while ground-planted individuals need less. Humidity is crucial; misting can help maintain moisture, particularly in drier indoor environments.
Fertilize:
To promote abundant flowering in your fuchsias 'Garden News', use a balanced fertilizer weekly, applying at quarter strength during watering. If relocating your fuchsias 'Garden News' indoors in fall, cease fertilization two weeks prior to the move.
Pruning:
Fuchsias 'Garden News' thrives with early spring pruning, which involves removing dead branches and trimming back one-third of the oldest stems to encourage new growth. This method enhances blooming and overall health, preventing legginess and fostering a bushier, more vigorous appearance.
Propagation:
The fuchsias 'Garden News' is best propagated from cuttings taken in spring to autumn. Use 2-4 inch tips, place in a 3 inch pot with a moist medium, and cover with ventilated plastic. After 3-4 weeks when roots establish, acclimatize by removing plastic during the day before repotting.
