Water: The fuchsias 'Sunray' needs consistent watering, especially in summer, ideally daily for potted plants. Ground-planted fuchsias 'Sunray's need less frequent checks, but moisture must be maintained. They flourish in humidity, which indoor environments lack; misting can help mitigate this dryness.

Fertilize: To promote abundant blooming in your fuchsias 'Sunray', use a balanced fertilizer weekly, applying a quarter strength with each watering. Cease fertilization two weeks prior to moving your fuchsias 'Sunray' indoors at fall's end.

Pruning: Fuchsias 'Sunray' boasts vibrant flowers and variegated foliage. Prune in early spring by removing dead stems, thinning crowded branches, and cutting back long stems by one-third for bushier growth. Use clean, sharp tools to promote airflow, reduce disease, and maintain a compact form.

Propagation: Propagation of fuchsias 'Sunray' is easiest via cuttings taken in spring to autumn. Pinch a 2-4 inch tip above leaves and remove bottom leaves. Insert several cuttings into a 3-inch pot with moist medium, cover with plastic, and keep warm. Roots will establish in three to four weeks.
