Hi is there anyone here from FNQ ?? I've just moved here from way down
south
and find tropical gardening very different and very interesting. I also
have
a wilting fuschia, I brought it up here, and it was fine for a few weeks,
I
kept it shaded and watered but then it started wilting, so I soaked it in
a
tub of water with some fish emulsion added. This usually picks my other
plants up very quickly, but it has continued to wilt. Could it possibly be
root rot? if so, what do I do? I want to save it before it's too late. And
are there any bonsai enthusiasts up here? bonsai up north is a whole new
ball game too!! wow what growth!! My trees went from snow to spring in 3
days!!



Whereabouts are you?
I used to live in Atherton but never had any luck with fuchsias (but that
could just be my record with any potted plant).
So I'm not really any help with the potted plants.
Root rot can be a problem though as the humidity is really high, .... but
those red soils are deep and well drained so I never had too much of a
problem in the garden.
