How to care for Fuchsia in summer
Main content introduction: This article discusses topics related to the cultivation of Fuchsia in summer and the cultivation methods of the Fuchsia plant. Let's find out more.
Fuchsia, also known as Lantern Flower, features bright colors and unique shapes, resembling small hanging lanterns with flowing "ribbons". As the temperature rises in summer, it poses quite a challenge for Fuchsia. Want to keep your Fuchsia safe during the summer? We are here to share three tips.
Summer is the blooming season for Fuchsia, but if the weather is too hot, the flowers may not bloom. Instead of waiting for them to bloom, it's better to cut the buds, which will help them survive the summer.
In summer, with high temperatures, Fuchsia leaves may look wilted as if they are short of water, but they are actually entering a semi-dormant period. Do not water excessively when they look weak; instead, water them only when the pot is very light and the soil is completely dry.
Placing Fuchsia in a cool and well-ventilated area, ideally hanging them for cultivation, will also help them survive the summer safely.
Additionally, you can create cuttings as backups. Young Fuchsia plants are more likely to survive the summer. I have made several cuttings, and they are doing well. For each node, leave one node, cut off the axillary buds on the top of the node, leave 1-3 centimeters on the bottom, and insert them into a loose medium (like珍珠岩, yellow sand, etc.), and they will root in about 8-12 days.
The above-mentioned introduction on how to care for Fuchsia in summer and the cultivation methods of Fuchsia plants aims to bring some knowledge on flowers to green plant enthusiasts.
