Humus rich, well-drained soil.

Feeding
Since it is usually grown in a hanging basket I like to fertilize weekly with a soluble fertilizer mixed 1/2 strength. While actively growing in the greenhouse I give a very weak solution of water-soluble fertilizer every time it is watered until it is acclimated outside.

Miscellaneous

Propagation Methods
Semi-ripe cuttings in late summer, winter over in a cool greenhouse.

Pruning Methods
Pinch out new growth in spring to encourage bushiness.

Rainy Side Notes

This is wintered over in the greenhouse in its hanging basket. In February. I repot it with fresh soil. Once growth begins. I fertilize regularly. This is an easy fuchsia for hanging basket culture.
