Fuchsia are morning-sun plants native to the Caribbean. They are widely used in hanging baskets and 4” pots and are known for the oddly-shaped blooms that drop down from the foliage to show off during the spring. When planning your crop, be sure to choose trailing varieties for hanging baskets and upright varieties for 4” pots. Your customers will love the added color and wide spreads Fuchsia bring to your Mother’s Day offerings.

Fuchsita Carmine White Selling Tips

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Fuchsia, we recommend using a constant feed program of 200 ppm N. Maintain a pH between 5.5 - 6.2 to avoid iron deficiency.

Flowering

Fuchsia bloom naturally as the days lengthen. If you are looking for an early crop, you can light your plants starting in late winter to force blooming early in the spring. This will allow for your customers to have a longer peak season with their plants before the summer heat makes them hard to maintain.

Pinching

We recommend one pinch 5-10 days after transplant. Additional pinches every 3-4 weeks will create the perfectly-shaped pot. Give the plant 6-8 weeks from the last pinch to produce blooms.

Spacing

Fuchsia should be spaced adequately to allow airflow and light penetration between the foliage. Usually 2’ staggered centers on baskets will be enough to allow for the spreading foliage to grow.

Height Control

While plant growth regulators are effective, we do not recommend them for Fuchsia. These plants do not normally flower in the winter and will continue vegetative growth without chemical aids. Control height with proper pinching to encourage basal branching.

Pests

Aphids, thrips, mealybugs and whiteflies are the primary pests attracted to Fuchsia

Disease

Not prone to many other diseases, but watch for botrytis while the days are short. This grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label’s instructions.

Planting Fuchsita Carmine White Liners

Rooted Cuttings

Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.
