Hi, this is Brigitt from Roseville, Calif, i need advice on how to properly propagate my purple and pink ear ring lookin fuschias, i love them so much and i would like to make all my neighbors a nice gift with a planting of my fuschias, i tried clipping about eight inches and put rooting hormone and placed it in a glass under a light and it just wilted away, i looked for hours on the internet for an answer and no one knows, but i am sure with all the brains on this website can help me, sock it to me
Fuchsias are easy to make cuttings from. Did you have a bit of old wood on the bits you were using.? I tend to do that and it seems to work. I just stick bits of prunings in and hope for the best. They are going into pots with good potting soil and kept damp but i don't cover them. Looking at your location you probably have similar weather given that you can grow Fuchsias. Have a look at this and see if it helps http://www.wildchicken.com/nature/garden/ga009_softwood_cuttings.htm Liz
