Depending on the part of the country you garden in will determine the care.

When you receive your new 'Fuchsia' plants it is very important that you immediately take them out of there shipping box and wrapping and give them some water and of course light. Remember your new fuchsias want to be damp not soggy. You may experience some wilting, drying, loose soil, or actual leaf droppage during shipping. This is normal and the plants should perk right up as soon as you care for them. Your plants may be small or large depending on the crop they were selected from. In either case they will be healthy strong rooted plants.

After a seven to ten day wait it is recommended that you transplant them carefully into a larger pot, preferrably a 4" or 5" size pot with good potting soil and let them grow and establish there roots before the final transplant into a larger container or into the ground with the ground always being the better choice. Make sure the container you are using has good drainage for the water to flow thru.
After a couple of weeks a little fertilizer will help speed the development of your plants for your enjoyment. Half strength to start with is the best.

In the hot and dry parts of the country your Fuchsia will require mostly shade and lots of moisture. During the extremely hot time of the summer it is advisable to raise the moisture or humidity surrounding the plant with a gentle spraying or misting periodically throughout the day. This can be done manually or with the use of an inexpensive timer on your faucet.

In the cooler coastal regions of the country your Fuchsia will grow in conditions from the full sun to dense shade. Moisture is still important for the well being of the plant.

The condition of your soil is very important. Fuchsia's require a good rich composted soil well drained whether you are planting directly in the ground or are planting in a container.

Keeping the right nutrition in your soil allowing the roots to take up the food that is needed for a strong healthy plant is essential. A well balanced all purpose fertilizer will do wonders for your Fuchsia plants.

With proper minimal care you should be very successful in growing Fuchsia's in any part of the country. Fuchsia's are only hardy in certain parts of the country, usually USDA zone 8 or warmer. Heavy mulching in the winter is required were the ground surface experiences freezing and thawing.

Enjoy your Fuchsia's and take good care of them. They will reward you with beautiful and unusuall flowers most of the warm growing season.
