Fuchsia 'Little Ronnie'

What is the plant

Little Ronnie' - 'Little Ronnie' is an upright, bushy, deciduous shrub with ovate, toothed, dark green leaves, and, throughout summer, flowers with slightly recurved, red sepals and double, purple corollas. Semi-double deep blue corolla with sepals of rosy-crimson. Blooms in early summer to early August. The fuchsia has oval, green leaves and produce fruits that are edible but not appetizing. Mulch heavily where winters are cold. Prune back dead or broken branches in spring, especially on plants that were left outside in areas with mild winters. Cooler summer temperatures make Fuchsias a favorite for the Pacific Northwest.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
However, they do like humidity and will languish if the air is too dry, whether indoors or out.
Pruning
Fuchsias will thrive and blossom more abundantly if they’re pinched back as new growth appears. When a branch has finished blooming, clip it back with clean garden shears.
Fertilizer
You can fertilize fuchsias every couple of weeks in spring and summer but begin to taper off feeding as fall approaches. Diluted fish emulsion works beautifully.

Sunlight
Fuchsias love lots of filtered light but are particularly intolerant of heat. Make sure your fuchsia baskets or planters have plenty of dappled shade If you’re expecting a period of hot summer weather, it’s good to have a backup plan for sheltering your fuchsia plants to support their blooming activity through the summer. If you’re growing fuchsias indoors, a window with bright, indirect sunlight works best.
Soil
fuchsia plant care entails planting them in soil with a pH level of 6 to 7. However, they’re fairly adaptable in many kinds of soil, so long as it drains well and quickly. Fuchsia roots don’t like to sit in water.
Temperature
daytime temperatures well below 80 degrees F. (27 C.) will encourage a healthy bloom. Fuchsias also prefer cooler nighttime temperatures.
