Fuchsia 'Bella Fuchsia® Martha'

🌱Spring

• Spring - late · Outdoors

  Feed young plants with slow release fertiliser

  Spread a slow release fertiliser around the base of the plant to the edge of the foliage spread, so that it can feed the roots. It is helpful for this to be applied for several years.

  This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost until the plant becomes well established.

  Water to keep the soil moist

  For best results, this plant needs soil that is always moist. Water deeply and regularly as soon as soil appears dry. Even for established plants in the ground, a dry week can cause problems with some soils. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather. Or install an automatic irrigation system which will do the hard work for you, even when you are away on holiday.

  Without regular watering some plants never fully regain their beauty.

• Spring - early · Planting

  Prune hard to the base

  Prune back to within 30cm to 45cm of the plant base so that the year's growth will begin from this low framework. If you want the plant to grow larger, this need only be done every few years.
