Repotting fuschias

Posted by melrose 5 (My Page) on

I'm trying to overwinter some fuschias in my basement this year and I'm wondering when I should repot them. Based on reading the forum, I'm afraid my basement may have been too warm (about 65 degrees). I have 2 fuschia trees - one of which has shown some growth in the upper tree portion and one which only has growth shooting out from the base. Do you think there's hope? I also have two plants that I've tried to save and 1 has no growth apparent and the other has 1 shoot which is coming along. I'm wondering if I should try to repot them now and bring upstairs - or is it too early. Would I be better off to wait for the shoot to get a little more growth and try to root it? Looking for advice from the experts. I'm in zone 5 with a last frost date around mid May.

RE: Repotting fuschias

I'm no expert by any means but they should be alright. I've started to bring mine back to growing stage. I start mine now because it takes any where from eight to twelve weeks (depending on if single semi-double or double) for them to come into bloom after be stopped or pruned back. It takes a bit for them to leaf up.
