My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Fuchsia in container-can it be pruned?

13 years ago

Hi
I have two containers in shady porch areas with a fuschia which is doing nicely. That said. I am wondering if it will grow top heavy and start to fall over. Should I prune it shorter to make it more full and bushy and less tall?
Thanks
