Leaning tower of fuschia
A local council had a sale of bedding plants a week or so ago. For £32
I purchased a good selection of plants in fantastic condition. Among these were 2 standard fuschias, I gave one to my daughter and kept the other myself. I repotted into bigger pots, left the bamboo support that was already there, alas they have both started to do a Captain Carlson, for the young amongst you they are leaning. I have tried turning my pot 90 degrees daily, but still it leans. Any recommendations please? |

You could try putting in three or four stouter ones round the edge of each pot, and gently tying the stem to all of them. As the fuchsia bulks up it should conceal the engineering. Potting mixture probably won't be dense enough for a single stake to hold, now that the plants have taken on a pronounced lean. -- Mike. |
