Leaves curling under

Posted by losanglr (My Page) on

Hello, I am a brand new Fuchsia owner. I read other posts about the curling leaves, but I don't think the plant is diseased. But I might be wrong. I bought the plant in an outdoor garden centre. It looks relatively healthy, and I hung the plant in my kitchen window. The plant gets some direct sun in the early morning hours, but nothing after about 10/11am. I have been watering it once or twice a day, which I read online, with fertilizer in the water. I hope I'm doing this right. :) Anyway, I've noticed the leaves are slightly curled at the edges, and I think it might be getting worse. Am I maybe watering it too much/not enough? Or can someone tell me if its definitely a disease issue, and/or how to check for this disease or bugs? Thanks SO MUCH!

How much fertilizer did you add into the water?

I added a very small amount, but also I only just started using it in the last 2 waterings or so. The curling started before that. And it only seems to be on some of the stems, not all the leaves. :S

I can only find these two that fitted your description.
