How to grow fuchsia? Growing methods and techniques of fuchsia

Fuchsia is also called Lantern Flower and Hanging Bell Begonia. When Fuchsia blooms, it is graceful and looks like a hanging colorful lantern, which is very beautiful. Fuchsia potted plants are suitable for guest rooms, flower stands, and desk decorations. They can be placed in a vase with clear water for viewing. Today, let's share the cultivation method of Fuchsia.

How to grow fuchsia

1. Repotting and repotting

The seedlings of Fuchsia need to be repotted several times from small pots to medium pots to large pots after cuttings or sowing. Fuchsia needs to be repotted once every spring or autumn before germination. The substrate should be fertile, loose, well-drained culture soil. Generally, leaf mold, sandy loam, decomposed organic fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer can be evenly mixed, and no base fertilizer is needed to avoid root rot.

2. Fertilization

Fuchsia grows very fast and blooms a lot, so it is necessary to apply thin fertilizer frequently, about once every 10 days, and once a month during the flowering period, liquid fertilizer mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium should be applied, but fertilization should be stopped in the hot season. The pot soil should be relatively dry before fertilization; after fertilization, spray water once with a fine nozzle to prevent the leaves from getting stained with fertilizer and rotting.

3. Temperature

The temperature suitable for the growth of fuchsia is 10℃ to 28℃. The temperature in summer should not exceed 30℃, so it is necessary to do a good job of cooling down. In winter, it requires sufficient sunlight and the cultivation temperature should not be lower than 5℃, otherwise it will cause frost damage, so insulation measures must be taken. Ventilation should also be carried out frequently.

4. Watering

When watering, be sure to water as soon as the soil is dry and water thoroughly to avoid water accumulation.

5. Placement

In order to make the fuchsia grow plump, it is necessary to change its position frequently so that it can receive light evenly, so as to avoid leaning to one side and destroying the plant shape. However, it should be moved less during the flowering period, otherwise it will cause buds and flowers to fall off.
