How to successfully grow Fuchsias

Full morning sun for a few hours is excellent for fuchsias, but the hot midday or afternoon sun will bake them. Plants also can be placed under high branching trees or overhanging eaves, verandah or patio covers.


Fuchsias like their roots moist, but not soggy wet. Water when the surface of the growing medium becomes dry. A container plant in full bloom needs water once a day or possibly twice in very warm and dry weather. Do not water a wilted plant in the midday heat if the soil is still wet.


Balanced fertilizers, or those containing equal or almost equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, promote flowering throughout the season.
