How to get cuttings

Posted by sugarcane Indiana (My Page) on Tue, May 23, 06 at 15:13
| I have just bought a beautiful fuschia plant in a hanging basket. The blooms are double petaled.
I would like to know how to cultivate cuttings from this plant, so that I can have more plants next year.
Can I keep thsi present plant alive if I take it indoors for the winter?
Thank you fo ryour help. |

| To take cutting; cut the stem just above a leaf, 4 - 6 inches long. Trim it to just below the lower set of leaves and remove those leaves. Dip in rooting hormone and place in a mix of sand/peat. Keep moist not soggy. To overwinter; keep in an unheated garage; don't try to keep it growing by bringing into a heated area as fuschias need a period of dormacy. |
