Why Is My Fuchsia Getting Sparse With Dry, Brown Leaves?

My beautiful potted( with three drainage holes) fuchsia plant of 5 months, which has given me beautiful blooms back to back, is now,- despite watering every other to sometimes daily now that this hot, humid summer has begun-, now turning sparse with the leaves turning brown and brittle dry. Please advise

Fuschsia prefers cool temperatures so they do great in spring and early summer. Once the summer warms up, things get dicey. Do you have your plant hanging under a tree where it will be cooler? Also, are you regularly fertilizing? I would guess the heat is getting to it. I usually plan on replacing mine when the summer heat takes its toll, but mine is still doing well under a tree, although we've seen temps in the 90s. If there is no respite from the heat there, I would just plan on replacing it with a heat-loving plant.
