Fuchsia Rejuvenation

[@wendyworldly]

My fuchsias are doing great except one pot. It’s wilted despite receiving the same amount of water and fertilizer as my other 3. I discovered that each has a little “neck” of something wrapped around the top of the roots so I’ve removed that. Not sure if it was impeding growth or something because the bottom roots are fine. It’s a mystery why it’s wilted.

@Kreszentia Bichlmaier: die Überlebensquote bei einer Überwinterung ist stark sortenabhängig. Die amerikanischen Züchtungen sind oft auf Großblumigkeit ausgelegt und meist entsprechend weniger resistent. Alte englische, französische oder deutsche Züchtungen wie "Beacon", "Empress of Prussia", "Deutsche Perle" usf. sind dagegen meist superresistent. Auch die neueren holländischen Sorten sind meist nicht mehr so robust wie viele ältere Züchtungen.

When I lived in Germany, we always overwintered our fuchsias and geraniums,whereas many (most) Americans use them as annuals. I had great luck from year to year with those plants that I had on my balcony, but have no success now that I live in the United States.

Hello, what ratio of feed has anyone’s fuchsias loved?

[@GardenTime]

These types of fuchsias have to be cut back every year in the Northwest, new growth comes from the bottom. If you live in a warmer climate they could possibly be left as bushes.

Hi My 2 fushias in pots look like yours in this video, i live in cornwal uk When should i cut mine back, and also should i pull out of pot and put in new compost?

[@Anitadump232]

Yea cut branches back by half,repot and begin feeding once a week

[@MariaRodriguez-lk5tq]

@@Anitadump232 what type of feed do you recommend? High Nitrogen perhaps? I cut my Fuchsia back about 3 weeks ago. It dried out pretty severely from the hot weather here. It hasn’t grown back any greenery though, and the soil doesn’t seem to be drying out at all.

My fuchsias is very thin, and sick maybe not enough sun or they just don’t survive in Vermont.

[@Anitadump232]

How are your winters?If it gets a little cold they will survive however if you get frost and below freezing temperatures take them inside or into a greenhouse or shed

@@Anitadump232 Hi thanks for your reply, our winter is cold , but not below freezing temperatures, at this time now still hot summer, I KEEP it in cool shady place, once a week I put ice blocks on soil, am I doing a rite thing?:-)

[@Anitadump232]
