Organic Fertilizer for Fuschias

I am an organic gardener and would like to know if any of you fuschia fans have an organic fertilizer you like. I have never(!) fertilized my fuschia, (although it seems to do just fine and I always get lots of flowers). I probably should, though, right? I did notice a few people recommending fish emulsion, is this a complete enough fertilizer for the job?
Thanks! |

| That will depend on whether you are growing them in containers or on the ground. For containers, the media has limited amount of fertilizers built-in so we naturally supplement them with fertilizers. On ground with fertile soil, it is not really necessary to feed them. As I do grow mine in containers and indoor, I avoided organic fertilizers due to smell. Also organic fertilizers need bacteria to break it down into usable forms for the plants so if you use non-soil potting mix then go for chemical fertilizers. |

| I grow mine in a container outdoors so smell isn't a concern. Since I am an organic gardener I cannot use a chemical fertilizer. |
