i've got 2 fuschias in hanging baskets which only have a couple of blooms on. they grow well otherwise. i read they need a lot of fertilizer but i don't know how much is a lot!

best,

siri

    You need to tell us where you live to know if this is a problem or not. In many places fuchsias won't even be outdoors yet let alone in bloom.

    ilive in San Diego and i bought my first Fuscia a ciouple months ago, i transplanted it in a hangin basket, and began fetilizing it with Dyna-gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 and i add a little calcium acetate that i read about over in the "peppers thread" and what i have noticed is, the fuscia was in transplant dormacy(i think) all the flowers slowely died, but in the last 2 weeks i now have 20+buds coming out! i notice when i fed my peppers the foliage pro/Calcium Acetate(supplies calcium/Magnesium) the plants puts our buds!

    When i water i use 1/4 the dose of FP for 3 waters then i flush on the 4th. same with all my plants i am growing.

    Good luck!
