    That fish emulsion will be higher in nitrogen than in potassium and phosphorus. This will actually keep it from flowering. You will need to add a bloom formula with little or no nitrogen to get it to bloom again.

    The more direct solution would be potassium phosphate, which is an ingredient in most bloom ferts, but can be used alone as well.

    Just make sure that there is little or no nitrogen in the next fertilizer that you apply next time, as there is usually plenty of nitrogen in the ground already.

    The MiracleGro will be the cause here. Anything with slow release, or too much nitrogen will prevent flowering. You will need to switch out the soil with something that does not have a slow release nitrogen, but higher amounts of phosphorus and potassium.

    I'm sorry to hear that. This can be a bit of a task to bring back. I recommend putting down some dolomitic lime around the area, and keeping the area moist. Not wet, or dry, but somewhere in between. Keep and eye on it, and do the best you can. If there is any green left on it, then it might be worth your time to take a few cuttings from it, and get them to root. Here is an article that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/fuchsia/propagating-fuchsias.htm

    That appears to be spider mite damage, which is common with non-native plants.

    Smaller fuchsia varieties bloom the first year if conditions are ideal. Some varieties grow to an 8 ft. shrub and may not bloom for several years. Unfortunately, there is no one answer to your question. Since blooming drains a lot of plant energy, it may be wise to pinch off most blooms until the plant is the size you want. Watch for spider mites, aphids, whiteflies and thrips.Fuchsia can be over-wintered in a dark, cool place. 40-50 F is perfect. Water the dormant plant several times so it doesn't completely dry out. Some suggest this watering can take place on Thanksgiving, New Year's Day and Valentine's Day.
