In case this is your 1st time watching one of our many videos, we filmed a daily video journal back in 2020-2021. We wanted to share how we were gardening and spending our time throughout the Covid-19 quarantine while we sheltered-in-place. As gardeners, podcasters, and small business owners, we felt it was important to chronicle this experience.
Follow along with our daily Quarantined Gardeners journal to see what we're doing and get ideas for your own garden because gardening is not canceled. 🌿 We also have and are making more videos on common garden care tasks, tips and tricks, hacks, and answer garden questions we see from our different audiences. So visit our channel and check out our other videos.

I bring my Fuchsia inside before any frost damage and have plants live for 4 years easy. One year I forgot and the Fuchsia froze. I brought it in, cut them back, and in the spring it grew out to a good size. The hummingbirds loved it.
I kept one for 25 years.
Kindly let me know if berries help in propagation for next season, and how to save them.. I love these dancing dolls but am afraid what if it doesn't bloom again
@@donnahilton471suggestion for propagation
No wonder I had a hard time getting more blooms on my hanging basket. I didn't know I was supposed to pluck those pods. Hopefully I'll see more blooms now. This video helped! Thanks
Hi Lisa! Thank you for watching and we're so happy to hear this helped you! Yay fuchsias! 😀
I’m glad I found your video. My hanging basket is looking awful but now I have a better idea of how to take care of it. I’m going to find a new space for it since it’s getting more sun than you say it needs.
Thank you! Just got my first one today, I had no idea about plucking the seed pods so I’m glad I watched your video! ☺️
Fuscia is sooo pretty. I love them.
Thank you and God bless you both!!🙏🙏
You answered all my questions in 5 minutes!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Just received my first Fushia hanging basket. It’s the same in your video purple and pink flowers. Excited that it attracts hummingbirds my favourite bird. Looking forward to taking care of it snd admiring it’s beauty from my covered deck. Thanks for your tips it’s been very helpful. Julie from Woodstock, Ontario.
Thanks! I just bought a couple of these for the first time, and wanted to know more about them.
Thank you 😊
This helped me so much! Thank you 😊
Amazing video. Thank u 💓
Beautiful
Thank you for this video! I was gifted a gorgeous hanging fuchsia for Mother's Day, but haven't been able to figure out basic maintenance. Lots of info about getting them ready for winter. Thank you for the seed pod info, I thought those were buds, lol, and now I have very few blooms compared to when I first got it. I hope I can get the hang of this, it's so lovely. I've noticed some wilting, and found some broken stems (probably too windy), and pruned those, but now I'm seeing yellowing of the leaves... not sure yet what to do.
Awesome informative video! Thank you both! ❤
Hi Liz! We're so glad this video was helpful and thank you for watching!! 🌿
Loved ur video! Thank you 😊
Hi Berakah! 👋 Thank you for saying that and thank YOU for watching and commenting! 😉👍😃

Hi Angie! 👋 What a beautiful choice! Enjoy your fuchsia and thank you for watching!! 😃
Hi Bubbly Bernice! 👋 Thank you for watching and you're going to love your new fuchsia! Watch for the hummingbirds! 😃
Helpful! I have a fuchsia that is a hand me down from my great-grandmother. It must be around forty years old! I think I over watered it though so I'm looking up some care tips here. Thanks for the info!
Hi Brandon! 👋 WOW! A 40 yr old fuchsia?!! That's amazing it came from your great grandmother! We hope you found what you needed and thanks for watching!
Great video! Thank you
You're welcome! We're happy this was helpful!
Omfg, love the hair hun!
perfect information.
Such a great channel great information and interested plants I put an old Spong in the bottom keeps moisture in the soil and the fuchsia stay moist in the basket thanks for your time 🌹🌹👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Graham! Thank you for saying that. We truly appreciate all the feedback on our videos and content. 😃 That's a fun idea to keep moisture ready for your fuchsia to take up. Good thinking. 😄💡💦
@@SpokenGarden Thank you very much for your response ,I will surely update you,may I sometime messages you whenever in needs
My Fuchsia is all dried out and the leaves are all brown one mistake I did is I hanged it where it got morning sun and later it got lot of sun… good to watch this helpful video i hope I can save my plant. I will try your tips and see if it does good. Thank you so much.
How do you know if the seed pods are from flowers falling off or new pods with soon to be flowers?
I would also love to know the answer to this question!!
Hoping after a month now, that we get an answer to this...
Awesome tips! I bought mine today on clearance for $6 from $13 and they're bit dry and I cannot wait to see if I can nurse it a bit to flourish. Thanks!
Hi vora Mai! 👋 Thank you for watching and we are very happy this was helpful for you. Fuchsia's are soooo beautiful and that's great you were able to bring one home. It's funny; some of our best plants in our garden are from the "clearance" rack. All they needed was a little attention and some 💦, and they thrive. 😄 We are excited for you!
Thank you 🙏🏼 you helped me a lot!
We're so glad to hear this! Glad it helped!
@@SpokenGarden can I ask something. I’ve got a fuchsia plant. It’s recently been having flowers. But i had it since a year now. Can I still pinch it. It’s stem looks quite dry and thin though. And it’s three branches have flowers.
Great video my friend 😘😘 nice
Thanks a lot for your tip for caring those beautiful fuchsia I’m gonna buy right now the fertilizer that you recommended us thanks a lot I’m your new subscriber thanks
Hi Maribel! 👋 That's awesome and we're so glad this video was helpful! Thank you for watching and subscribing, and please let us know if you have other questions about garden care or fuchsias. 😁
Thanks a lot for answering I’m appreciate, ask a question the fertilizer that you’re recommended Dr Earth fertilizer not burn the flowers thanks a lot
What type of fertilizer is best? Thank you for your help...
I'm so glad I found your channel. I live in Ottawa, Canada. Our summers are hot, but brutal winters. Can I bring the Fuschia hanging lant inside over the winter? Will it need to be repotted in the fall if I do?
I just bought 2 fushia plants to hang outside my apartment window to catch the morning sun. Wish me luck 🙏
Hi Alan! 👋 That's great! Make sure that they don't get too intense of light any time of day and keep them well hydrated. We hope you enjoy them! Thanks for watching and for commenting! 😃👍
Just got one today
Hi Tavin! 👋 That's GREAT! Woohoo! We have been seeing them at different stores already here, too. We plan on adding a few to our garden too. 😉👍 Thanks for sharing and watching! 😎🌞
hi! Can you trim established fushias? I have stems with no flowers that are leggy.
Just got my first fuscia basket from the farmer's market and so in love with them. Do these come back next spring if we bring them in the winter? (zone 6)
you can over winter them. Trim back, take all leaves off, water and lay basket on its side. Put in basement or shed, water once a month and bring it out after all danger of frost/freezing. I've done mine like this for years😊Enjoy!
What is the best safest way to thin out a full hanging Fuschia (dollar princess) basket and create new baskets.
I’ve got 2 fuschias (dollar princess) I’m fairly a novice at plantings/gardening etc, but I pick up rather quick (I believe). Forgive me if you already have this video, if so I simply missed over it. You’ve got an unbelievably informative library of videos and I appreciate it- I’m new to your channel so I’ve got much to soak up/in.
Thank you🪶
Hi J Burrough! 👋 Great question and thank you for your compliment! We truly appreciate hearing that. 😃👍 Here is the short answer: If you want to thin your fuchsia plants, start by thinking how much thinning you are looking to do and what you want the plant to look like when done. If you want it to look full after you are done thinning, make your thinning cuts closer to the ends of the stems out towards the flowers. Pruning is such a huge topic and can get very specific for specific plants.
We really want to help you with this and you have reignited our "Members Content" idea here for RUclips. It's been under development for about a year, but stalled with everything else going on. Now we are going to make it happen! Look for more info in the next couple of weeks and we plan to make a video specifically on your question, because there are A LOT of gardeners wanting to know this and much more. You are awesome and keep your questions coming! 😎💪
Nice planting. So Beautiful flowers 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤ connect stay 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Thank you! 👍🏼👍🏼
The fruit of the berry of F. splendens is reportedly among the best-tasting. Its flavor is reminiscent of citrus and black pepper, and it can be made into jam. The fruits of some other fuchsias are flavorless or leave a bad aftertaste.[6]
What is the best fertilizer for hanging fuchsia plant & can you replant in ground ?
Can you pull off the seed pod where the stem attaches to branch? It comes off easily there.
Omg! I just sub and then they say to sub! X3 I thought I watch their vids a lot so why not^^"

My fuchsia has brown spots on its leaves. I haven't noticed and mite or bugs. Do you have any advice?
What are the best temperatures for growing these beautiful fuchsias? Would they grow in the tropical heat of the Texas coast?
Deers in Atlantic Canada region love to eat these flowers
How do you get your Fuschia more rounded and faker and not long and viny off the sides?
I bought two Fuchsias last spring. It was my first experience with them. I consider myself to have a green thumb, but I could not keep these alive. They were on the north side of my house, hanging on the eave. I live in a very hot area,...zone 9. I am wondering if maybe they were diseased when I bought them or maybe they got too hot. I'm in Beaumont, Texas. The heat index is commonly 106 in the hottest days of summer.
Hi Monnie Mon! 👋 We are sorry to hear that happened. There are soo many factors that come lead to a plants death, so don't be hard on yourself. 😊 The best thing to do is not give up and definitely keep going and exercising your green thumb. 👍💪 Our garden successes come from our triumphs AND failures. There could have definitely been something wrong with these poinsettias before you bought them, where they had physical damage to them that just progressively got worse (that happened to us last year) or something else happened. Maybe, too, there is something this spring you can do to modify that area. We aren't that familiar with growing plants in your area, so it's hard to give you more help. It might help to call to talk with your local nursery or extension agency to ask if they have seen anything specifically happening to poinsettias in your region and possibly if there is anything to look for or be aware of. Just don't give up. 💪 You got this! 😉
Hello. I’m somewhat new to gardening. Always loved it, but never had time nor space to do it. Well now I have the time and the space. So my daughter and son went and purchased quite a bit of plants for the flower garden, pots and hanging baskets. My son bought me a beautiful pink and purple fuchsia. It was so beautiful (still is a little), bright vibrant leaves and flowers. It did good for quite a while. It has been the only plant that has been hard to care for. I have been pruning and try to water when needed. I don’t have a place in garden or near home that is shady. I moved it against the home where it only got morning sun. It started to get reddish brown and yellow leaves, I would remove it the damaged leaves. Thought it was the sun. I also checked for bugs thinking it may be the culprit, nothing. Some of the leaves continued to turn and the buds opened partially (although there were still vibrant ones that blossomed beautifully). Tried to keep in shade, but still the same. The weather has been extremely hot and humid and also had thunderstorms for 4 days straight. I think it may have been overwatered it from the rain and also found out that my daughter and son in-law has been watering the plants as well. I really want to save it. It’s still budding and blossoming. How do I revive it? Do I stop all together watering it and do I I poke holes in soil as you did? Please help. I don’t want to lose it. Is there a way to revive it?
Hi Vanessa! 👋 Thank you for watching. Sorry to hear about your beautiful fuchsia plant. From what you are describing, it sounds like the hot heat, possibly over watering, are the main culprits for what you are seeing. Also, the morning sun could be an issue if really hot and intense. Definitely watch how much water it gets so it is not over watered and we would recommend putting it in mostly shade during high and intense heat. Hope that helps and let us know how it goes.
Spoken Garden Thank you so much for your reply. I have stopped watering it (only a light mist) and have been moving it from shade to shade. It’s still budding and is fighting hard to survive. I’m keeping an eye on it, I don’t want to lose it.
That's great! Make sure to definitely water it when it needs it and when the soil is getting on the drier side. You don't want it to go from too much water to not enough (one extreme to another). Also, maybe think of putting your plants on a written or digital watering schedule that is available to see by family and friends helping around your garden, since they are sooooo helpful 😃 and willing to care for your plants. That way, everyone helping knows and you don't have to worry about over or under watering any plants in the future. Just an idea ... Keep us updated and thank you again for watching. We hope your fuchsia comes back stronger than ever. 💪😎
Hello, I plucked those pods and no flowers. I put some miracle grow every 2 or 3 weeks. What do you think is going on?.
I tried one of the green seed things and now my mouth is itchy 😭😩
How do I take care of this plan in the winter time?
I was told to use Miracle Grow as my "only" fertilizer about every 3 weeks. Right or wrong?
Karl
Have you tried bringing it in in the winter time to over winter?
Hi Margaret! 👋 Thank you for watching and commenting. We did bring it in over the winter and made a separate video about how to do it. There was one thing we didn't do AND that was keep the fuchsia in it's hanging basket off the cold concrete surface of our unheated garage, and it unfortunately didn't make it through the winter. This next fall, we now know how to stop this from happening and will clear special space on our work bench so our fuchsia baskets can overwinter better. Thanks for being here and for asking! 😉👍
Wow beautiful.... How do you make them so bushy??
Hi Gyati! 👋 Thank you for watching and great question! As each individual plant in the hanging basket grows (there is usually 4-5 plants that make up any commercially grown/sold fuchsia basket), it is pinched at regular intervals to make sure that it continues to grow out to spread and not up. If you look into any basket, you can see these pinched points in the older growth closer to the soil. I can be fun and interesting to track each plants growth and pinch points. Hope that helps and thanks again for watching! 😊👍
@@SpokenGarden Thanks
In zone 7b, is it ok to put fuchsia hanging baskets outside?
I have got four different colours, small fuschia plants. I was wondering do they spread out too much?
Hi Jaya! 👋 Great question and thank you for watching and commenting! We will be answering your question on our Saturday Morning Live this morning at 9am, so if you have some time you could swing by. Also, we will answer your question here after the live. Have a great day and we will answer your question soon! 😉👍
I have a question. Are those green pods new buds or should they all be removed?
Hi Starr Chase! 👋 Thank you for watching our video and for your great question! The green pods you are seeing in the video are definitely seed pods from old flowers already withered and gone. You can easily go around your plant and pull/pinch them off with your thumb and forefinger. Hope that helps and thanks again for being here! 😊👍
These flowers would always bloom around my house... I was never really interested in them and would pop the closed ones. So yeah...
Any fertilizer recommendations for this plant? Thank you for sharing
Hi Sandy! 👋 Great question and thank you for being here and watching! Any liquid fertilizer with a balanced fertilizer, like 8-8-8 or even a 14-14-14 will work fine. Fertilizing with these can happen every 5-7 days. Any balanced fertilizer will give plants what they need stay healthy and let them decide to flower more or put on more growth. You can use fertilizers with a slightly unbalanced nutrient ratio, like Dr Earths All Purpose Fertilizer (amzn.to/3f0lNWe) with a ratio of 4-6-5 and this will encourage plants to produce more flowers (and fruit, if veggies or actual fruit). There are some pelleted (time-release) fertilizers out there and they are formulated to give a little fertilizer each time you water. Make sure to follow the label instructions of whichever product you use. We used Dr Earths All Purpose Fertilizer last year for our fuchsia plants and other flower plants, and it worked great! Hope that helps and sorry for not getting back until now. Thanks again for watching and being here! 😉👍
How to keep berries healthy after plucking for propagation in season
Rescued a fushia yesterday she looks quite sad. Her limbs are growing up but she's not flourishing what can help tia
How ate they pripagated?
What kind of fertilizer do you feed Fuchsia’s?
What type of fertilizer would you recommend?
Hi there! 👋 We would recommend any balanced fertilizer for your fuchsia and other plants. We prefer non-synthetic or chemically derived fertilizers, like Dr Earth's All Purpose 4-6-5 (amzn.to/38NL4ya). We are using this in our garden for many of our plants and it's working great. Hope that helps and thank you for watching. 😁
@@SpokenGarden thank you
Hi,I am from Manipur India northeastern bordering mayanmar ,in summer we have 36 degree Celsius I have one fushia plant which have bloom this summer ,but the leaves started dropping I'm afraid if it will die it has one main branch with two three side branches ,should I prune it plis advice me I seek your advice
Hi Kamla! 👋 We appreciate you reaching out and asking your question about pruning. If you are having really intense and high temperatures right now and your fuchsia plant is already stressed with this hot weather, we would suggest that you not prune it so as not to add to any current stress to your plant. If your fuchsia plant is anything like ours, they prefer some morning sunlight but then dappled sun or mostly shade in the afternoon and during the heat of the day. If your plant is in full sun and is getting that direct intense heat, this could be causing your plants to stress and drop leaves. We had fuchsia plants last year that had some full sun and intense heat in the afternoon and evening. They started dropping leaves and turning bright yellow and brown. We couldn't give them enough water and they were under continuous drought conditions. They didn't like the full sun in the afternoon, so we moved them to the other side of our house where they got complete shade in the afternoon and evening. They stopped dropping leaves and their health returned as we were able to get them on a better watering schedule and get them out of their drought conditions. We would suggest, if you can, to move your fuchsia plant to a shadier location or provide it shade somehow during the hottest times of the day, along with making sure it is getting enough water (but not overwatering either) during these really hot day. We hope that helps and give us an update when you can. Thank you for watching.
Newbie to fuchsia plants need help before it's to late for mine. Hope you don't mind but I sent you a message about my less than perfect plant.
What is preferred feed?
If it’s raining for several days should I take it in?
Hi Cathi! 👋 Sorry we didn't get back to you sooner. Ugh. We hopw your fuchsia plant(s) is doing ok. As long as they have drain holes in the bottom of their pots or hanging baskets AND are planted in some kind of potting soil that drains well, you should be ok with keeping them out. We have ours hanging under our house eves and they don't mind a string of rainy days. They drain well and have those drain holes in their containers, so no worries. If you are really concerned about them getting too much water during rainy days, you definitely can get them under complete cover until the storms pass to then bring them back out. If it's a hard rain for a long time, then definitely try to protect them. Hope that helps and they are looking beautiful for you! Thank you for watching and asking us your question! 👍😉
@@SpokenGarden Thank you so much! I took them in and put them out when there was a lull in rain!
Hi, even if it varies depending on environment and plant, it would be nice to be more specific about the watering because I acquired a Fuschia Charming 10d ago and it almost died of lack of water by following the same kind of advice you give in this video. It is a small fuschia, of 40cm diameter, and I was giving her 1/2l one day out of two, or everyday, depending on the weather. I put 1l yesterday and 1l today, plus I sprayed it heavily and many times, and it's now recovering. The plant is in a hanging basket (Coco liner), and since 3d ago, it has been very hot in London (30°).
Because of all this drama about "just watering it a bit", I almost killed it.
It's a guy on the net who gave me the right clue: he said a Fuschia in a hanging basket must be watered until water leaks out through the bottom of the basket, and that the risk of dying of lack of water is much more probable than from drowning the roots. So I did like he said and I figured out it needed 1l a day + spray on hot days.
Apparently, the good combination is a lot of water + very good drainage. He said it's better to water it a lot and wait a bit, than watering a bit everyday.
However, the plant is exposed to direct sunshines from 9am to 2.30pm, that could explain why it is so thirsty.
Anyway, giving a few figures about watering based on plant size, exposition, weather etc. would really help.
Hi S7ilgar. 👋 We are glad your fuchsia is doing well now and that you have dialed in your watering regime. Since every garden has slight or big differences between them and how each is cared for, watering any plant can vary a lot. This definitely holds true for what soil the plant is also planted in and it's placement under shaded or sunny conditions, in that specific climate. We give viewers the plant's needs so they can determine (and be responsible) for how to best care for their plants in their own climate. We hope you have great success in growing your fuchsia plant.
What about fertilizer
Madam please give Me tthis plant
I gave you some vegitable seeds like l
Occera,cow pea bitter gourd etc
