Bolivian Fuchsia Care

Fuchsia boliviana likes moist soil, but it shouldn't be perpetually soggy either. Never let the pot dry out, but don't let it sit in a tray of water either. It might be helpful to use a moisture meter.

Your Fuchsia likes average fertilizing. Feed about every 2-3 months with a general-purpose fertilizer that contains micronutrients.

Fuchsia boliviana prefers filtered sunlight. Morning sun + late afternoon shade is fine, as is tree-filtered sunlight all day. Protect from strong afternoon sun.

Use well-drained soil. A typical mix is 2 parts quality potting soil to 1 part perlite

It comes from cool cloud forests, where it doesn't freeze, but it also doesn't get very warm. It might not thrive in areas that regularly get above 85° F (29°C), particularly if nights are warm. If other Fuchsias grow in your area, you should be able to grow this one. It can only handle a few degrees of frost; protection from freezing temperatures is highly recommended.

Repot your plant to a larger container whenever the roots start circling around the bottom of the container, or after 2-4 months.
