fuschias
Hi,
Help, Can anyone give me advice on overwintering fuschias? ok its not yet winter in Scotland, another 2 months away i hope, am just keen to preserve this years plants. i have been busy browsing various web sites but am no closer to what i want to know so here goes........... My green house is not heated. I did manage to overwinter one plant last year after protecting it in bubble wrap, though this years growth is slow, is this expected or was i just lucky to get it to survive at all! So this year i'm unsure what to do My Fuschias are in large containers, Is it safe to move the plants to smaller pots prune back and overwinter indoors? And If so, can i slow down there growth to prevent them flowering and getting to big and bushy as i have limited space.. As you can see i don't know alot about these plants what they will and wont take in the form of punishment from me....but i would hate to lose them to Jack. Many Thanks in Advance Jules |
