Hi
This year, I have some lovely fucshias in pots, which I would like to
keep
over winter. They are not hardy, so I would need to bring them
inside.
This may be a stupid question, but if i do bring them in, do they
still need
to be somewhere light, or could I just put them in the garage? Would
I need
to water them, or could I just leave them until next spring?

Thanks,
Dorothy

I have the same problem. No greenhouse and nowhere to put them. For
the last few years they have spent the winters in my garage which has
no light. I cut them back quite hard in the autumn and put the pots in
the garage. They need to be quite dry. In the early part of the year
they send out white shoots and I then bring them up to the house where
they spend some time in by night and out by day, depending on
weather.The white shoots will turn green. If they have got too long I
cut back again.
It's my only way of dealing with them, but it works for me.
