My Fuchsia Plant Was So Pretty When I Brought It Home From The Store And Quickly Went Downhill From There

Question

What am I doing wrong? My fuschia looks like it’s about Dead. I’ve only had it 2 weeks, watered it twice in that two weeks and it just keeps shriveling up and turning dark. Leaves are brittle and falling off. Is it salvageable? Can I plant outside and revive it?

Unfortunately, these plants can be a bit picky about the type of water that they receive. This, and they can be particular about watering habits, as well.
