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

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.
