At least I think my fuchsia has a watering problem. The one I grew last year, also in a hanging basket, did beautifully. It was my first, and I kept it well watered because I'd read that's what fuchsias need. This year's fuchsia looked fine when I planted it in the pot, but hasn't looked all that great since. It seems to get more and more limp, and the blossoms often fall early.

At first I thought I wasn't watering it enough; then I thought I may have over-watered it. Our weather has been hot, and my other hanging baskets are watered every day. But I haven't watered the fuchsia in several days because the pot is heavy and the top of the soil is damp and cool. I'm wondering if I should remove as much of the soil as I safely can, and sort of start over. Or do something else? I'm hoping someone here will advise me.

Thanks!
