How to maintain fuchsia in winter and why the flower buds fall off

1. How to maintain fuchsia in winter

1. Temperature: Fuchsia is relatively afraid of cold. In winter, it needs to be kept indoors. If the temperature around it can be kept above 25℃, it can still grow in winter. If the temperature around it can be kept between 8-20℃, it can hibernate in winter. When the temperature rises in the second year, it can continue to grow. But if the temperature in winter is below 5℃, it will be frostbitten, affecting its growth in the second year.

2. Water and fertilizer: In winter, the frequency of watering and fertilizing should be adjusted according to the ambient temperature of the plant. If you can ensure that the temperature is always above 25℃, you can water it every 5-7 days and apply fertilizer once a month. If you can control the temperature between 8-20℃, you can water it every 15-20 days, but do not fertilize it.

2. Why does the fuchsia flower bud drop?

The reason why fuchsia buds drop may be due to lack of water. At this time, you should add some water to it and moisten its soil to replenish its moisture. It may also be caused by overfertilization. At this time, you should take it out of the flowerpot and clean its roots with water. Then plant it in new soil and reduce the frequency of fertilization afterwards to prevent it from dropping its buds again.
