Fuchsia...Pinching or cutting??

denisio
19 years ago

Reading through these forums, I'm not quite sure what to do about my dry, droopy fuchsia. Do I pinch off the dead blooms or do I actually cut the branch to encourage new growth?

Also, which ever method is correct, is there a specific way to go about this to ensure I don't kill the plant all together?
