Fuschia hanging plant

Just killed another fuschia. Like my fourth or fifth one. I try so hard, give it water, fertilizer, not too much sun and I mean really diluted sun, western, it never got direct sun...and yet, they still die. I got it from a reputable nursery. Halfway through I noticed half the leaves would wilt even though the soil was moist. I'd water daily at first, then I knocked it off because even though the pot had a drainage hole, the soil never seemed to dry out! I then watered a little more sparingly but it didn't seem to matter, the fuschia still had drooping leaves, no budded blooms, and looked sick. Then I moved it into my sunroom where it got more direct sun, cooler temps (because it is airconditioned) and less humidity. Didn't matter half of it still dried up and died. I really can't figure out what I am doing wrong except maybe it just doesn't like hot humid Virginia weather.
