🌸Growing Tips
🌞 Sunlight & Location
Prefers morning sun and afternoon shade.
Best grown in partial sun—ideal under a tree or beside east-facing walls.
Requires 3–4 hours of sunlight daily.
In hot regions, protect it from direct afternoon sun using a shade net.
🌡️ Ideal Temperature

High summer heat may slow blooming, but resumes once temperatures cool.
🌱 Soil & Potting
Fuchsia White thrives in rich, well-drained soil.
Grows well in 12-inch pots, grow bags, hanging baskets, or directly in the garden.
Can adapt to various soil types including clay, loam, or sandy soil.
Ensure the pot has proper drainage holes.
💧 Watering
Keep soil moist but not soggy.
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Potted and hanging plants may need watering daily in hot weather.
Avoid overhead watering—helps prevent fungal diseases.
In cooler seasons, reduce watering frequency.
🌿 Fertilising
Feed with organic fertilisers such as vermicompost, fish amino acids, and seaweed extract for healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
Apply fertiliser only on moist soil to avoid root burn.
Reduce feeding in winters to allow plant dormancy.
✂️ Pruning Tips
Prune in early spring to shape the plant and encourage blooms.
Pinch off soft tips in spring to make the plant bushier.
Cut back old stems to revive the plant and improve air circulation.
In colder regions, keep top growth intact during winter to protect the plant base.
