Water: Fuchsias 'Mary' requires consistent watering, particularly daily in summer, to keep soil moist but not waterlogged. While potted fuchsias 'Mary' needs more frequent watering, those in the ground require less. Additionally, fuchsias 'Mary' prefers humidity, which can be supported by regular misting.

Fertilize: To promote prolific flowering in your fuchsias 'Mary', use a balanced fertilizer weekly at a quarter strength during watering. If relocating your fuchsias 'Mary' indoors in late fall, cease fertilization two weeks prior to the move.

Pruning: Fuchsias 'Mary'' features vibrant blooms and pendulous growth. Prune in early spring by cutting back one-third of last year's growth to promote bushiness and flowering. Remove dead or weak stems for health, preventing overgrowth and enhancing air circulation, leading to robust blooms and an attractive shape.

Propagation: The fuchsias 'Mary' is commonly propagated through cuttings taken in spring or autumn. Cut 2-4 inch tips, remove lower leaves, and plant in a 3-inch pot with a moist medium. Cover with ventilated plastic, place in warmth, and roots should establish in 3-4 weeks. Gradual acclimatization follows.
