Fuchsia Container Gardening

Gartenmeister Fuchsia

6 years ago

Hello,

My Gartenmeister Fuchsia survived the winter indoors, and was ding very well with lots of blossoms until about a week ago, when it started dying. I don't know why. I have watered it thoroughly just in case the fertilizer was too strong, and I spray it with water to keep it hydrated. There is a smaller one that I bought this spring which is in the same pot, and it is doing well. What else should I do to try and save the older one? Thanks for any help.

Here is the photo. It's really drooping. What if I cut it and try to root it? Do you think it might work?

That’s very odd. I’ve never seen a Fuchsia suddenly collapse like that. It’s a lot worse than simply drooping. There’s nothing on the larger plant which would make viable cuttings. All I can suggest is cutting back the dying stuff and hoping for the best. Spraying with water, btw, will have no effect on hydration. Did you apply the fertiliser at the recommended solution?

Yes, I did, but if I hadn’t wouldn’t the smaller one have died, too? A real conundrum. Thanks for your input.
