Fuchsia Cuttings

Thanks for that advice, BigBilly, it is much appreciated. Had plans for today to do stuff like that but guess what?!?! It's raining!!

Gave the under training standards a bit of a trimming yesterday, they look a bit bare, but hope they will be ok.

The remaining leaves are lovely & green, BigBilly, so they surely will be fine.

My fuchsia cuttings seem to be turning themselves into standards as they have lost all their lower leaves.

Wow Joy...is it normal for them to loose their leaves like that?

I think its awesome that you can grow Fuchisa cuttings.....

YOUR THE MAGICAL LADY!!!!

Thanks Justy. Don't know if it is normal for fuchsias to lose leaves, as mine have done, but the parent plant always did as new ones grew. The plants are tall & spindly & haven't trailed as the parent plant did. Haven't felt up to getting new cuttings off these cuttings, lately, but must do so very soon as the available cutting material is getting less & less. The poor parent plant has carked it, sooooooo, if I want to have more of these pretty miniature fuchsias I shall have to plant some more cuttings REAL SOON!!

The fuchsia cuttings continue to grow flower buds but many of them drop, just as they did on the parent plant. Must really & truly take some cuttings from them before it is too late.

A couple of images of the pretty little flowers on the fuchsia cuttings. They continue to flower but are looking very scraggly. Today I must take some cuttings from them as the parent plant has died.

The fuchsia cuttings continue flower through winter, although not as profusely. They still look very pretty, too.

Progress report on the Fuchsia cuttings that i am trying to grow as standards.

Your fuchsia standards are looking great, BigBilly. Congratulations!!! They are flowering well & I love their delicate pale pink shades.

Thanks for showing us how they are going, BB.

The first fuchsia cuttings are flowering well despite being tall & spindly with not a great deal of foliage.

The initial fuchsia cuttings are still flowering very well, despite its stems growing long & spindly. It is great that this lovely fuchsia can be kept thriving by the use of cuttings which are so simple to do.

Some pretty little fuchsia flowers lit up by the sun.  These are on the original cuttings.
