How to fertilize Hummingbird Fuchsia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hummingbird Fuchsia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Can I repot it in a smaller pot? Hi, this plant is from outside, I what to safe it and bring it inside the house, can I put it I'm a smaller pot?

What's happening to my plant?! It is placed in direct sunlight and has been raining a lot here so it gets water every other day. It was so happy and now is so sad. Help?! #HummingbirdFuchsia

I really want to put my #Fuchsia outside but the pesky winds broke off a couple branches last time now I’m scared to put her outside again. Do you think she’ll be okay for a year inside on a southwest facing window with bright indirect sunlight until she’s strong enough to go outside again? #GregGang

Happy #FreshLeafFriday everyone! It’s hard to choose between the three that have grown the most this week so I’ll post all three. The first one is my #HummingbirdFuchsia with a lot of fresh growth since I’ve been bottom watering her. Next is my #PeperomiaHope with the tiniest little sprout. And the third one is my #FicusGinseng with quite a few new leaves.

It’s wintertime. And I decided to take my babies inside. 🥺💕 because I didn’t want them to freeze to death. Never did I think they would still give flowers. I’m so excited to see the first new little flowers opening up. 🩷 I love my little fuchsia plants called: Beam & Bloom. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Blooming
