hardy type<\/a>, most fuchsias are annuals that prefer to be in semi-shady conditions with moderate temperatures (between 55-80\u00b0F). Fuchsias need consistent moisture to fully develop their delicate blooms (i.e., they generally do not do very well in hot, dry conditions). In other words, hydrate\u2026but don\u2019t overwater to avoid root rot.<\/p>\nTo keep fuchsias blooming all summer, pick off spent blossoms and check plants regularly to make sure insects are not taking over stems and leaves. (Note: the readily available silicon in rock dust helps ensure strong, vigorous stems and healthy plants that are naturally more resistant to pests and disease than plants that have been grown in non-mineralized soil).<\/p>\n
As the weather gets cooler, you can bring fuchsias indoors\u2014although, dry air and spider mites often contribute to fuchsia failure. That\u2019s why it\u2019s best to enjoy these beautiful plants in their full outdoor glory during the warm days of summer and early fall.<\/p>\n
