Should I use a large or small pot for fuchsia?

When planting fuchsia, you need to decide the size of the flowerpot according to the size of the plant. Generally, if the plant is large, you can choose a large flowerpot, and if the plant is small, you can choose a small flowerpot. Usually, the size of the flowerpot can be whatever it is as long as it does not inhibit the growth of the fuchsia.

Growing environment: Fuchsia prefers a humid environment during its growth process. Generally, it is necessary to maintain air circulation during maintenance, and an environmental temperature of around 20 degrees is very suitable.

Repotting time: It is generally more appropriate to repot fuchsia after winter, because during this period the growth rate of fuchsia will be very slow, the plant will be in a dormant state, and will not be particularly sensitive to environmental changes.

Should I use a deep or shallow pot for fuchsia?

It is generally more appropriate to grow fuchsia in a shallow pot. If it is grown in a deep pot, the soil in the pot will dry more slowly after watering. If the soil is too moist, the air permeability of the fuchsia will deteriorate, which will then lead to root rot.

When planting fuchsia, it is more suitable to use a unglazed pot with good drainage and ventilation. In this way, drainage will be very convenient during maintenance, and the root system of the fuchsia can also grow well.

How to repot fuchsia

1. Separation of pot and soil

Remove the fuchsia from the flowerpot. If it is inconvenient, you can knock the flowerpot on all sides a few times, then hold the fuchsia plant and slowly remove it from the flowerpot.

2. Pruning

After removing the fuchsia from the pot, it cannot be planted directly into a new potting soil. The roots need to be cleaned. If there are rotten roots, they need to be pruned off, and then the pruning wounds can be disinfected.
