All help would be appreciated
Hello Gringo most shrubs are easy to root and certainly fuchsias but the best time for me with my fuchsias has been July or August when my fuchsias are lush and take tip cuttings.

I find now that shrubs are now woody stems as with fuchsias.

I have tray of Albertina fuchsia cuttings taken from a tip and are now nice fuchsia plants ready to grow on to 4"pots.

Fuchsias root after about 3weeks.

Good luck hope you have a success with your cuttings.
