Water: Originating from moist, shaded regions, upright fuchsia prefers consistent moisture without waterlogging, requiring watering every 1-2 weeks. Mulching aids in moisture retention, especially during its active growth season, enhancing its vibrant blooms.

Fertilize: To promote abundant flowering of your upright fuchsia, apply a balanced fertilizer weekly at quarter strength when watering. If relocating your upright fuchsia indoors at fall's end, cease fertilization two weeks prior to the move.

Pruning: Upright fuchsia features vibrant flowers and graceful leaves. Prune in early spring to remove damage, shape the plant, and encourage denser growth. Thin congested areas for better air circulation. Use clean, sharp tools for cuts just above a node to promote health and blooms.

Propagation: Upright fuchsia is best propagated through cuttings of semi-ripe wood. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots, trim below a leaf node, strip lower leaves, and use rooting hormone in well-draining soil. High humidity and warmth, avoiding direct sunlight, promote vigorous root development.

Repotting: Repot upright fuchsia every 2-3 years in spring using a slightly larger pot with good drainage for root growth. After repotting, position upright fuchsia in indirect light and maintain consistent moisture to ensure healthy recovery and thriving development.
