Fuchsia 'Melody'

What is the plant

Single light purple corolla with sepals of rose. 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
If watered properly, these can grow easily during summer. But be careful not to water them too much. Too much moisture weakens the plant.
Pruning
When a branch has finished blooming, clip it back with clean garden shears.
Fertilizer
Krishnakalis must be fertilized every 2-3 weeks. I usually put a handful of organic manure bought from the nearby nursery in this plant. However during late summer, fertilizing should be minimized as they get ready for flowering for winter.

Sunlight
If you’re growing fuchsias indoors, a window with bright, indirect sunlight works best.
Soil
they’re fairly adaptable in many kinds of soil, so long as it drains well and quickly.
Temperature
They can be grown both inside and outside. If you plan to grow them inside, keep them in a semi sunny side of the room. They prefer slightly shaded place with temperature 10-20 degree C. As the temperature gets too cold, bring them inside to avoid the frost
