I didn’t know that over wintering fuschia was possible. Thank you for the information. Definitely going to do this ❤
Great video. No extra junk. Just short and to the point. Thanks for the information!
I appreciate the idea to put a reminder in the phone. I lost some plants due to forgetting to water!
Thanks for this! I am in the UK, and I've had 3 beautiful container grown fuschias this year which I don't want to lose. Will follow your advice and see if I manage to keep them! If I lose them, will treat this as a learning curve and hope for better results next year.
Thumbs up times two! Bang-bang!
I could compose a 3 page novella on my journey through overwintering tender perennials but I will save you from my ramblings. I will just opine by stating if more gardeners did this the happier they would be.
I will attempt to overwinter my 2 hanging baskets of fushias for the 1st time. Thank you for guiding me :)
Thanks for letting know your experiences with the fuchsia in winter nice couples
Hi Maribel! 👋 This was a fun video for us to try a new way to overwinter our fuchsia. Hope it was helpful for you and thank you for watching! 😁
This is awesome information. Thanks for sharing
Hi Feledwards 👋 Thank you for watching and we're glad you enjoyed it!! 😃
i was waiting for you to cut the snapped branch Cheers ray
I have dozens of fuschia plants. I experiment every year on treating them through winter. They will do absolutely fine with no pruning and no special treatment. We have bitterly cold winters here in the UK. Most of mine I will leave as they are and give a good prune back in March/early April.
Hi Victoria! 👋👋 That's great that you have a good system to overwinter your fuchsia's and prune them in the coming spring, instead of the fall. Thank you for watching and for commenting. 😉😃
Awesome thank you
Hi Paw Power! 👋 You are most welcome and thank you for watching!
When do you recommend trimming it back and putting it in a garage? September, October…? Should I cover it to minimize light? I plan to try this and I have a heated garage that stays 50-ish F all winter.
I just discovered your channel when looking for information for gladiolus corms. Today I bought a magnificent fuchsia basket and I did a search and your channel came up again. I hit the subscribe button. I have a question about this fuchsia that you overwintered. Did I wake up in blooms for you this spring?
Hi from uk 🇬🇧 I've had a fascia tree in the ground for 5 yrs had ace flower on it last year beginning 2021 started get green buds checked yesterday all leaves are crunchy 😪😪and stems are peeling and advice welcome xx
I am going try this with mine. And recommendations for geraniums
Hi..did that Fuschia survive the winter successfully? How is that plant doing now?
This is what I came to find out!
Good morning from the UK! I was wondering what to do with my five fuchsia baskets now I'm sorted - I've had to go a long way to get he answers though :-) Many thanks.
Hi Paul! 👋 Thank you for watching and really glad we could help. 😉
Last year I successfully overwintered 2 fuchsias. I also successfully propagated 6 new plants from the 2. Last winter and having only 2 plants I kept them in a darkened area of my home, but there’s no way I can accommodate 8.
I have an unheated basement where I believe they will the temperatures, but there’s very little light. How much light does a dormant fuchsia require over winter?
I have one of those fuses that I bought this year and I am wondering if I can just let it grow and if I put it in a bigger pot and keep it inside instead of outside and I took the hanging off and brought it inside on my table I just want to keep it healthy all the time I don't want to cut it down or restart the plant is that a good idea
What about light ? After plant is all trimmed back & clean
Hello I’m new to your channel and I was wondering if it would bloom the following year? For I just bought two of them today for myself my home. And I just wanted to know how to better care for them thank you. Looking forward to learning lots from your channel. Thank you Nancy
Hi Nancy! 👋Thank you for being here and for watching our videos! Welcome and we hope we can help you with any garden questions you might have. 😊 Fuchsia's can be either grown as an annual or perennial, depending on where you live and if it is hardy (it can tolerate the lowest average temperatures) in your area. Depending on where you live, your new fuchsia's could be hardy to overwinter outside, but if they aren't hardy to your area, then you can overwinter them inside or in a shed or garage to have them come back the next year. If you keep them over the winter and they come back, they most definitely will flower again the following year, as long as all their growing requirements are met. Thanks again for watching and we hope you enjoy your fuchsia's! 😃👍
Thanks for this video, but do you also have any advice for salvia overwintering?
Hi Henk! 👋 Good question. You should think about overwintering your salvia or any plant if it is not cold hardy in your area's climate. There are a couple of easy things you can do to overwinter you salvia. If it is already in a container or pot, just move it so it is right up next to your home or a building so it gets any residual heat coming off that structure. A heated building is best, like a house or condo/apartment building, but even a shed or other structure that isn't heated will still accumulate heat over a day to then radiate back out over the night time and early morning. If you have greenhouse , then it can be placed in that.
If your plant is in the ground and cannot be moved, then you can build a small hoop-house or cloche around and over it so it has protection from frost and snow, and will have a warmer temperature around and still get sunlight through the winter. Some even have the option to open sides or the top to let air circulate.
If you would like to talk about your other options, email us at seanandallisonmcmanus@spokengarden.com and we can learn more about your garden and salvia to then better answer your question. Thanks for watching! 😁
Thanks for this video. I just bought a fuchsia seedling for a hanging basket and wondered how they fair with wind. The lowest temp is currently about 35 at night but can be up to 60 in the day. Shall I put it in a greenhouse for a few more weeks?
Hi CHFW! 👋 Thank you for watching and good question. Yes, you should have your fuchsia seedlings or even a basket inside and kept at least above 45 F degrees a night so they don't get any cold or cool temperature damage. They grow well in breezy and even regular windy conditions, but definitely keep them well watered and don't let them sit out in any moderate to high wind conditions for long periods of time. It's ok to take them down from hanging positions during really windy times and then rehang them afterwards. Hope that helps and thanks again for watching! 👍😊
@@SpokenGarden thank you that was very helpful
Could you keep the foliage and grow it in the garage over winter with grow lights? Or is dormancy required for fuscias?
Thoughts (from anyone!) on overwintering in a greenhouse?
I overwintered mine for the first time this past winter. I put them out last weekend and I do not see any growth yet. Just brown sticks. Is this typical?
Yes mine took quite awhile outdoor until it bloomed, came back beautiful and I hadn't even trimmed it back
How many seasons do you keep your fuchsia in the baskets before doing a soil replace? I find that the roots fill the pot generally and it creates a low nutrient situation from the constant hanging basket flush during watering. Do you root trim these when you bring them back out?
Hi Lime Time! 👋 Great questions! And you are totally right about the low nutrient levels over time with older soil. You could add compost or other new soil every year by either a top dressing or mixing it into the soil, very lightly so you don't disturb the plant roots. If just top dressing, over time the new soil particles will filter their way down through the old soil by gravity. Root pruning can be done, but only if your plant is healthy enough (no disease, insects, etc...) Think of root pruning like you are transplanting the plant to a new pot and to fit it into that new pot you have to spread out roots, trim away circling or girdling roots, and get it re-established in its new home; but it's really the same pot. Oh, and if you want to help with water reaching more plant roots and not just "flushing" through everytime you water, take a plant stake and poke holes into the soil around your potted plant. This creates more pockets where water can seek down and around your plants roots. Hope that helps! Thank you for watching and commenting! 😃👍
@@SpokenGarden this helps tremdously! Thank you for all of the tips!! Excited for spring! Keep up the awesome work guys.
We're so glad to hear that! Thank you and let us know if you have any other questions. 😀
I need to water my Fuchsias right now every other day or they dry up. So in dormant mode ? I should still only water them once a month ?
Hi Anio! 👋 Thank you for watching and commenting. If your fuchsias are actively growing with any new (or old) green leaves and growing stems, then you should have them on some kind of regular watering schedule and try not to let their soil dry out, keeping it more moist than dry, if possible. Hope our reply helps and, if not, let us know how else we can help. Thanks for being here! 😃👍
Could you please tell us which climate you are? Thank you 🙏
Hi Emil! 👋 Thank you for watching and commenting! We live in the Pacific Northwest in WA State, Zone 8b.
Will this still work if the plant has gotten a bit of frost?? Or is it too late if temps have dropped below 30 degrees?
Hi ms kinetik! 👋👋 Yes, this can still work, as long as your plants haven't been in consistently freezing temperatures for too long. For example, if your hanging basket plants have been outside when you have had inconsistently freezing temperature nights and during the day the temperature stays above freezing all day, then they can still have living, mostly undamaged tissue (roots and shoots) to be brought inside. If your nights have been consistently at or below freezing for more than 3 or more nights and/or your day time temperatures are at or just below freezing for more than 2 or more days, then your plant might not be worth saving at this point. If you aren't sure, just place your hand over the top of the soil where the plants are coming out of the soil (steady the plants) and then turn the whole basket over to wiggle and lightly shake with your other hand the pot to loosen the soil so it will slide out of the pot, still steadying the plants with you hand. Once the basket slides up you should be able to see plant roots. If the roots are still a white-ish color or a really light brown, then they are still alive and you can still save the plant. If those roots are a darker brown or black color, then your plant(s) has already started to die back. Hope this all helps with your question and thank you for watching! z😃😊
I have a fuschia which is FULL of berries, what shall I do with it for winter in Scotland?
Hi Louise! 👋 Wow, all those berries means you had lots, lots, lots of beautiful flowers earlier. Yay! To answer your question, if your fuchsia is in a hanging basket (like ours) or in a pot, you can treat it much the same as we did ours to overwinter it where you live. If your fuchsia is planted in the ground, then there are different ways to also protect it. Your local climate is unknown to us, but to give you an idea of why we need to overwinter our fuchsia the way we are; our temperatures in winter drop below freezing every year, without fail. Most fuchsia's, and especially ours, can't overwinter in temperatures below 40-F or 4C. So, we treat and care for it like we did in our video so we can enjoy it starting this next spring. Depending on your local climate and how cold it typically gets there, you might have to treat your fuchsia the same way we did ours in this video. If you would like more help or just to bounce ideas off us, email us at seanandallison@spokengarden.com. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊👍
Thanks so much for your reply. Yes the plant was absolutely glorious and I have taken several cuttings which are growing amazingly well indoors, also managing to grow some from seeds in a propagator! All this is very surprising as I’m a new gardener! Scotland averages about 0 degrees centigrade in winter, it’s often around 4 or 5 but we do go minus, nothing extreme. It’s in a pot so all good :) and still quite mild for November - in fact my spring bulbs have started sprouting! I hope they are going to survive?? I really have so many questions about gardening!!
You say put in garage, does that mean, it need's to be kept in a dark-ish place ? great video btw :)
Hi MrRayzer1! 👋 Great question! Yes, for now until next spring when temps outside are warming up consecutively above freezing. Our first response was for cuttings and not on the fuchsia. Hope that is clearer. Thank you for watching and for the complement! 😃👍
@@SpokenGarden you still didn't answer. Light or no light in garage please?
About how much water would you use each month?
Hi Diane! 👋 Good question. We would water each with 1-2 cups of water once a month. Hope that helps and thank you for watching! 😉👍
So did it come back???
Hi Maggie! 👋 Thank you for asking about our fuchsia. Ugh, it didn't make it through the winter. We know there have been many people asking about this. It's a shame, but the one thing we didn't do is place the basket up off our cold concrete garage floor and onto a bench or table through the winter. It just got too cold for the roots being on the ground,e ven inside our garage, which is unheated. This next year will be different and we can make space on our garage bench for this and other plants to overwinter. Thank you for commenting and for being here! 😃👍
Was this method successful for you?
Yes, it was successful for two baskets. We lost one due to it being set on the garage floor for a moment and that moment ended up being a month. Thans for your question and for watching!
And it didn't come back. Why don't you remove this video?
Halooo,sir,i want you please give me funchisia flowering plant kikis different colors or cutting sale me or send me in kerala..
