you can either plant in a pot or plant in the ground if it is a hardy variety,remember to dead head the flowers as they die & feed with a high potash food,which will boost a lot more flowers!-cheers mark in the uk!

Thanks everyone for trhe advice. I feel much better about my plant.

I recently purchased several variety of Fuchsia at a local nursery. I have been feeding them weekly with fertilizer.
I water them every other day, daily depending on how warm.
Will they stop blooming after the weather gets warmer? Our
Summers get pretty humid and hot in Memphis. How should I care for them this Winter. I understand there are hardy varieties, would they survive are Summers? All are shaded
by a covered patio, and we have a very wooded lot. They
recieve filtered shade from about 12 noon until late
afternoon

Fernzilla, I believe most of your questions are answered on this forum's FAQs. I'm a relative newbie too, and have become infatuated with these beauties.

Hi Fernzilla,
To encourage continuous flowering always remove dying or dead flowers otherwise the plant will give its energy to producing fruits/seed instead of more flowers.

As Gina said you'll find a lot of the answers in the FAQ's, if not please come back - Kath:)

Fernzilla--I'm in Memphis too! I bought a fuchsia at Lowe's and hung it in the shade. I have to water it every day, especially with the 90 temperatures we've been having lately. I watered it well in the evenings, and by mid-afternoon the next day, it was wilted. I'm thinking of putting it in a larger pot so that it will be able to retain more water in the soil.

hi i recently bought a fuschia. I hung it in my patio. The problem is it is supposed to receive partial shade and in my patio the plant only gets shade after noon. Please advise if its okay or I need to change the place.

thanks krishna

I just bought my first Fuschia - and not for me - it's for the hummingbirds!
