Water: The fuchsias 'Westminster Chimes' needs consistent watering, especially in summer, aiming for moist, not waterlogged, soil—potentially daily for potted plants. It thrives in humid conditions, so indoor care may require regular misting to counteract dry air.

Fertilize: To promote abundant flowering in your fuchsias 'Westminster Chimes', use a balanced fertilizer weekly, applying a quarter strength with each watering. If relocating your fuchsias 'Westminster Chimes' indoors at fall's end, cease fertilization two weeks prior to the move.

Pruning: Fuchsias 'Westminster Chimes' produces vibrant blooms and benefits from pruning in early spring. Remove dead or damaged branches and cut back to an outward-facing bud for shape and air circulation. Annually, prune up to one-third of the oldest wood to encourage healthy growth and prevent legginess.

Propagation: Propagation of fuchsias 'Westminster Chimes' is best done from cuttings taken in spring to autumn. Cuttings, 2-4 inches long, should be placed in a 3-inch pot with a moist medium. Cover with plastic for humidity. Roots typically establish in 3-4 weeks, after which acclimatization and repotting can occur.
