Ideal Temperature

Water: Shrubby fuchsia prefers high-humidity environments and consistently moist soil, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks while allowing slight drying. Often grown outdoors, its watering needs may increase during the active growing season, influenced by rainfall in its native habitat.

Fertilize: To promote abundant blooms in your shrubby fuchsia, use a balanced fertilizer weekly at quarter strength when watering. If relocating your shrubby fuchsia indoors in fall, cease fertilization two weeks prior to the move.

Pruning: Shrubby fuchsia thrives with early spring pruning for optimal growth and flowering. Start by removing dead wood, then thin overcrowded branches for air circulation. Reduce last season's growth by one-third to encourage new growth. Regular pruning maintains shape and prevents pests, promoting healthy flowering.

Propagation: Shrubby fuchsia offers vibrant color and lush foliage for gardens. For propagation, use healthy, non-flowering cuttings with rooting hormone to boost root growth. Plant in well-draining, fertile substrate and maintain consistent moisture without overwatering for best results.
