How do you deadhead? Also, to keep blooming, to you cut below blossom? If so, how far, or how many leaves just below cut?

April 24, 2017A.Once a week you can inspect your plant for spent or wilting flowers.
Pinch off the old flower with your finger tips about 1/4 inch below the base of the flower.
If a stem is no longer producing flowers, pinch it back to the 2nd set of leaves from the base of the stem.Was this answer useful?00

May 13, 2017A.Find a semi-sunny area to hang your Fuchsia plant. No direct sunlight.
Fuchsia will not tolerate temperatures below 40 degrees F.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/fuchsia/growing-fuchsia-flower.htm

May 22, 2017Q.Hanging fuschia plant
The leaves on my new hanging fuschia plant are starting to turn yellow at the base. Am I overwatering? Or not watering enough?
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
May 23, 2017A.Yellowing leaves are generally an indication of watering issues.
Water when the top inch or so of soil has dried out. Water throughly, but make sue the excess water drains away from the plant with adequate drainage holes.
Here is a great article that will help refresh you on the care requirements.
