F. Boliviana seedling...

| I started a Fuchsia Boliviana "Alba" from seed recently. The seedling is now about 3/4" tall and has 4 tiny leaves. It lives in the house, under a not-too-bright window, and it is kept moist. The thing is...it's been this tall for at least 4 weeks. It did add the 3rd and 4th leaves after it gained it's "height". Is this slow growth normal for Fuchsia seedlings? |

| Pinch the growing tip out of the top Jeff, this will encourage further side growths - Kath:) |

| Jeff, It would probably be happier outside. These are montane tropicals, not lowland plants. They love cool temperatures. Ryan |

| Hi Ryan, I wondered about that, but was hesitant because of the dry air during the santa ana winds. They've died down now (the winds) so I guess I can give it a try. I can put it on my front porch, which is covered, west-facing, and easy for me to keep an eye on it. Thanks, Jeff |

| I have plants that I can sell or trade. Both the red and the white and cherry-pink types. |
