| I potted up what I figure is a bit of a trivial hybrid fuschia which seems to have rooted itself well. It it a mess of branches and the blooms are under a centimetre each. Reminds me of a cottoneaster.
Has anyone planted these in some typical application, for example in baskets or are they special cases?
Also any comments on whether they are likely to overwinter as an office plant?

Hi Vmarcos,
If you mean the Encliandra fuchsias, yes they grow well in the garden and make quite large bush-type growth, some are even hardy if planted in a sheltered spot. During the summer months they grow very well planted in a position out of the pm sun. They can be overwintered indoors, but then placed in a cool room with lots of direct day light. If the air temperature indoors is too high they will loose all their leaves. - Kath :) |

Had my Encliandra indoors bought yellow sticky tape and layed it sticky side up or you can buy white fly trap. They are quite charming and grow abt. 6 ft.tall have seen one that size. Mine is a Lottie Hobbie and in a pot it gets sun mornings and shade afternoons here again I put
white fly traps. It had a lite frost last nite and it's fine. Live in So.San Francisco,Ca marisa |
