My fuchsia's (in a hanging container) care says "keep moist but do not
overwater". So should I water it like a half-gallon per day? I can't
understand how you could overwater with the drain holes in the bottom.
Thanks.



Even with adequate drainage you can overwater, if you are running water
through the dirt it is washing out nutrients.

Aha! That's it---the nutrients! Thanks, Janine and Tom.
