Fuchsia Triphylla Care

Fuchsia needs 0.8 cups of water every 9 days when it doesn't get direct sunlight and is potted in a 5.0" pot.

It helps to keep in mind that fuchsia produces blooms only on new wood, so there’s no need to worry about cutting off buds when you’re doing fuchsia pruning on old wood. Don’t be afraid of cutting back a fuchsia drastically if need be, as the plant will eventually rebound better and healthier than ever.

Fertilize every two to four weeks, spring through the beginning of autumn. Stop fertilizing two weeks before your planned date to move plants indoors for the winter. An all-purpose, organic water-soluble fertilizer is adequate.

Fuchsia appreciate bright light but should not be subjected to full sun unless you can keep the roots adequately moist and cool.

Soil types: Chalky, Clay, Loamy, Sandy (will tolerate most soil types) Soil drainage: Moist but well-drained, Well-drained Soil pH: Acid, Alkaline, Neutral

In general, fuchsias prefer cool daytime temperatures (60 to 70 ºF) and a nighttime temperature of 10 degrees lower. The cool night temperatures are especially important during early spring growth when new growth is pinched and flower buds are developing.

It is ideal as a filler for hanging baskets and containers, and flowers for many months.

Fuchsia triphylla has no toxic effects reported. Native to the West Indies, Gartenmeister fuchsia (Fuchsia triphylla 'Gartenmeister Bonstedt') is a continual blooming, shrubby evergreen in zones 9-11.
