    • Light: Prefers partial shade to full shade. It can tolerate some morning sun, but strong afternoon sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf burn and stress.

    • Soil: Thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Adding organic matter, such as compost, can improve moisture retention and fertility.

    • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry. Fuchsias in containers or hanging baskets may require more frequent watering during hot weather.

    • Temperature: Best suited for cool to moderate temperatures (50-70°F or 10-21°C). Not frost-hardy, so in colder climates, it should be brought indoors or given protection during the winter months.

    • Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to encourage abundant blooms. In fall and winter, reduce feeding as the plant’s growth slows.

    • Pruning: Deadheading regularly encourages more blooms. Light pruning throughout the growing season helps maintain the plant’s shape. A more significant pruning in early spring promotes fresh growth and better flowering.

    • Pests and Diseases: Watch for aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to treat any infestations. Good airflow around the plant is important to prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew.

    • Propagation: Can be propagated from softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Place cuttings in a well-draining medium and maintain high humidity until roots form.
