Fuchsia Hanging Baskets

A guide to producing a fuchsia hanging basket

• These are best produced from new plants.

• Select the size of basket you require and as a guide :-
  10" basket you will need 3 trailing Fuchsia.
  12" basket you will need 4 trailing Fuchsia.
  14" basket you will need 5 trailing Fuchsia.

• Add slow release fertilizer and water retention granules to your basket.

• The best baskets are produced using one type of fuchsia.

• The fuchsia should be stopped at 3 pairs of leaves prior to planting up the basket.

• Plant all the fuchsia at an angle of aprox 45 degrees over the rim of the basket.

• Pinch out the side shoots at 3 pairs of leaves and continue untill you have pinched out at least 3 times.

• Feed the basket little and often as this will produce better results than feeding once a week even if you have added slow release fertilizer.
