I got hooked on Begonias because of that episode so imagine my joy to see this video from you guys after a winter here in Canada babysitting fuchsia cuttings from my neighbours hanging basket from last Summer. I just returned to her TWO full baskets with 4 bushy plants in each. I've learned even more about their care just now and excited that I will always have healthy Fuchsias year round and not have to pay $36cdn for each 12" basket every year. My begonia corms stored well and have resprouted for their 2nd season. I feel confident I'll have better blooms this year thanks to you all. Cheers, Roxanne (Ontario 🇨🇦)

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching and GREAT to hear your successes!

Rewatching this as my uk 🇬🇧 Fuchsias are beginning to come back to life. An excellent care and propagation reminder. Thank you 😊

Fabulous, aren’t they just lovely. Glad we were helpful. Regards Stephen

[@amydelgado5281]

Aaah, Peter is definitely one of my *favourite* tag teams with you boys! 😊 I loved this just as much as the Begonia video! Many thanks for being so informative and easy to follow. Sadly, in recent years here in Devon, England my garden has been exposed to *Fuchsia gall mite* which limits my fuchsia collection. But, Ive managed to keep on top of it by promptly cutting back as soon as I notice it. I've recently just learnt that introducing the predatory mite "amblyseius andersoni" can help combat fuchsia gall mite, so I will be trying this method this year in an attempt to save what limited collection I now have left in my garden. Fuchsia Gall mite has only recently come to South of England and parts of Wales now too. So, if anyone else struggles with this, let me know if you know of anything else that might help. Many thanks.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thanks for watching - hopefully someone might have some insights?

Thank you so much for this video! I adore fuchsias, and living in a cool zone 9 PNW climate, they do exceptionally well for me. Peter is such a wealth of knowledge, really interesting seeing his tips and techniques. Your channel is my favourite gardening channel on KZbin...I always look forward to your videos. Watching them has helped me impress my gardening friends :)

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Thank you for the kind words. We are very pleased that you enjoy our work. Regards Stephen

[@gspahr]

Thanks so much for covering this genus! I live in Southern Argentina right next to the Andes, and here Fuchsia magellanica is a native species, and by the way, one of my favorite plants! Loved the description of the berries flavor, absolutely agree. My mother has a huuuge specimen (2.5 m tall, and about 3.0 m wide) which I usually prune every winter or two... it usually bears thousands of flowers, the bees are quite happy all summer long.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Sounds fabulous! Thanks for watching!

[@davidsciascia4654]

Thank you guys, a really informative video. I have had potted Fuschias growing on my vertical wall in Sydney the last 2 years and they are looking pretty pitiful right now (1st August), so I hope with a bit of a haircut and feeding in a couple of weeks they'll be back in all their glory. I've had success with woody cuttings but I'm going to try some soft cuttings when I prune.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

They should strike almost anytime. Good luck . Regards Stephen

[@nikkistump3480]

I love love fuchsias 🌺 !!

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Enjoy!

[@DavenportSharky]

Both the begonia and fuschia videos are excellent. Have subscribed and recommended them. I am in the NW of England and overwinter fuschias in the greenhouse. While on holiday on the West coasts of the U.K. (Scotland, Ireland, the Isle of Man) it’s notable the number of wild hardy fuschias growing like weeds and that people use them for hedging. I propagate mine using softwood cuttings in water. Virtually 100% success rate. While on holiday, if I notice a fuschia in a park that I don’t have, I sneak a cutting, putting immediately into a jamjar with some water in and it does fine for when I return home up to a week later, transported in the door pocket of my car. Worth a try and saves on cutting compost.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Well done and welcome aboard. Hope you keep enjoying our videos. Regards Stephen

[@mellfraze8112]

Fuchsias are on my list of plants I want to grow, my grandma used to grow beautiful fuchsias on her porch. I have a Mediterranean type climate in Northern California USA with minimal freezing during our short winters & this gives me hope that I can add several fuchsia varieties to my garden as perennials.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

I have no doubt you will succeed, so best of luck. Regards Stephen

[@tim_koch14]

Fuchsia magellanica should easily survive winters in Northern California unless you're high up in the mountains, but it'll need to be sheltered from hot sun and dry winds in a Mediterranean summer.

Thank you, very informative and entertaining! Love it! I’m in zone 7a, NY, and last autumn I transplanted my fuchsia from a pot into the ground. Planted it deep. I’ve read this might help it overwinter. It’s still too early to tell if it worked. 🤞

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Best of luck. Remember that there is a great diversity of hardiness so this could seal its fate or otherwise. Regards Stephen

[@pal98111]

Best fuchsia video ever (and the only one I’ve ever seen). Super informative. I’m AM excited about fuchsias. In Georgia USA. I’ve always heard that fuchsias don’t like the hot summers we have here but I’m not so sure now and want to try a few.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

They cope well with our hot summers if shaded and watered well. Our heat is usually a dry one, so not overly humid. Have a go. Regards Stephen

[@jaqmackie]

Just loved your video! 💚 so informative. I’ve just been winging it growing fuchsias. Have four colours/kinds. I’m definitely going to try a standard. I have found it hard to get different colours. I would love to find an Annabelle near me 😊

Thank you for this so interesting.

[@lustraveller717]

My mother grew and loved fuschias and begonias and passed on that love to me. I live in Northern California (the San Francisco Bay Area-zone 10a) and we had a horrible mite problem in the 1980/90s which pretty much obliterated fuschias. I lost all of my fuschias. I am just now getting back into growing fuschias.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Best of luck. Regards Stephen

I don’t see why not given a shaded site. they can cope with 40c in Australia but out of the sun. As for cold only a few degrees of frost for most forms. Regards Stephen

[@mitzi605]

That was amazing. Question about them outside. I am in Oregon zone 8b and I don't prune them in fall. By spring there are no leaves. Some stems grow and of course some don't. The one time I cut a very miniature to the ground it took forever to grow again. What is your opinion on the best treatment in fall and spring to keep them happy and healthy. I always try to prune out the dead branches but am hesitate to prune to the ground.

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Spring pruning is probably best in your climate. Regards Stephen

[@loidajornadal3815]

I love fuchsias. But I haven't seen it in personal. Are fuchsias can grow in hot weather like Philippines?

[@thehorti-culturalists]

I think that some forms would be possible if you can find plants in the first place. Regards Stephen

[@vtechead1]

Hi, enjoyed the video, but do the cuttings need to be covered with a clear poly bag or a cut down pladtic bottle, to keep moisture in for the cutting ?

[@thehorti-culturalists]

it is usually best to cover the cuttings. Regards Stephen

I do like Fucshia's, but they can be frustrating, I have a single purple and magenta that has been in the same pot for years happily flowering for months so I bought another single in white and purple to have beside it but it has just sulked and now is basically 1 stem with a few flowers, I think it may end up in the compost 🤔off to the Sydney Collectors plant fair in a few weeks time to find something new

[@thehorti-culturalists]

It sounds like it needs repotting and feeding not all varieties are more demanding than others and it sounds like your original is thriving despite you! Regards Stephen

[@brandonallen9853]

Will these fuchsias survive in tropical heat climates like Texas?

[@thehorti-culturalists]

Given shade many should. Regards Stephen

[@kerryjean2223]

Very interesting. I have bought what I thought was quite cheap as in good value for money Fushias with mediocre success. I have very recently bought a couple of what I thought was quite a bit more expensive but so beautiful. I hope all I've just learnt will mean that I can keep them alive. I'm wondering since underplanting Roses with Salvia stops fungal issues on the Roses if that would work also with Fushias, I'm going to find out x 🌹🙏😇🇦🇺🕊️

[@thehorti-culturalists]

They could be a bit over competitive and most Salvia like more sun than Fuchsias. Worth a try none the less. Regards Stephen

[@kerryjean2223]

I'm guessing the 10 inch piece I accidentally knocked off yesterday and found lying on the concrete path slightly shrivelled up that I stuck back into another pot nearby might not turn into a new plant then x 🙏😇🕊️🌺

[@kerryjean2223]

Adam and Eve did eat of the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil 6000 years ago. They were formed out of the dust of the ground and God breathed breath into their nostrils giving them a soul and they were the first people to have a talking relationship with God, but because of their disobedience, unless one since the beginning of the new testament thanks to the obedience of the only begotten Son of God (as well as the obedience of Abraham of the old testament), whom allowed Himself to be sacrificed, the perfect sacrifice once and for all, because only blood can atone for sin, and triumphed over death, then those of us whom now choose to obey the one true gospel of Jesus the Christ to repent and to be born again of water and of the Spirit, have not only a talking relationship with God, but, also have a chance of eternal life at the very, very soon return of Jesus the Christ. To be born of water is to be baptised by full emersion at an age of understanding for the remission /forgiveness of sin, by a Spirit filled born again Christian and Spirit is to receive Gods gift of the Holy Ghost and Fire with the Holy Bible scriptures evidence of speaking in an unknown tongue as the Spirit gives utterance just like on the day of Pentecost. The day of Pentecost was 50 days after the ascention of Jesus the Christ to return back up to the right hand side of the Throne of God where He has been since even before the earth and the heavens and the seas and all that is therein was created. Jesus walked the planet for 40 days after He conquered over death on the 3rd day after His crucifixion. God is a Spirit and He seeketh such to worship Him. True worshippers worship in Spirit and in truth. Simply and sincerely ask God for His gift of the Holy Spirit by thinking about Him with your whole heart, mind, soul and strength saying hallelujah, hallelujah over and over again until you feel your tongue wanting to change and just let it. You will suddenly be speaking in a pure, undefilable language that you have never been taught or learnt directly to God. It is the evidential sign given that you have indeed received the Holy Spirit. There are other signs following, such as having the power to lay hands on the sick and brokenhearted to be healed. It is the same God used to create the heavens and the earths and the seas and all that is therein. With faith, nothing shall be impossible for you. God fills the vessel of your body to overflowing and gives you a full measure of faith. Faith also comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. You build up your most holy faith by praying in the Holy Ghost. The Holy Bible scriptures tell us to pray without ceasing both in the understanding and in the Spirit. Repent and be baptised every one of you and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost for the promise is unto you and unto your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
