Growing in a hanging basket
Keep the root ball evenly moist and shelter the flowers from hot afternoon sun and drying wind.

Your care routine
Watering
Keep the mix evenly moist, never saturated. Check hanging baskets daily in hot weather.
Soil & drainage
Well-drained soil; use container potting mix in pots.
Fertilizer
Feed only as needed during active growth, following the fertilizer label.
Outdoor hardiness
Treat tender basket fuchsias as seasonal plants in Canada. Bring retained plants into frost-free shelter before frost.
Humidity
Allow air to circulate between plants. Water the soil rather than wetting foliage.
Through the seasons
Pinch young shoots for branching. Remove faded flowers; reduce watering during frost-free winter storage.
When your plant needs help
- Dry baskets can drop buds.
- Inspect leaf undersides for whitefly and mites.
