Fuchsias leaving the Greenhouse

Posted by Siglinde on May 1, 2014 in Fuchsia Year, Fuchsias in April | 0 comments

do obviously feel like Fuchsias in liberty!

This impression arises in me looking at the Fuchsias i already placed outside the greenhouse, due to lack of space for the ever prospering plants. They may at last grow a bit slower, but therefore more compact with stout branches and darker colored leafs. Furthermore the blossoms are looking more vital and not at all puny as before! Naturally they should be watered even at temperatures about 10°C, but moderately.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The most pressing consideration the place i am living at is the possibility of frost during nights. This made me repeatedly store them back into enclosures and expose them to outdoor environment 1-2 days later the last weeks! And due to this i up to now placed only a small number of plants outside the greenhouse. But i can hardly wait to clear out the greenhouse completely and place the Fuchsias properly in the garden. Of course i do know that one moderate frosty night will not kill the plants completely but only the leafs and sprouts and they will grow out again. And in that case my patience would be tested by undoing the propagation of the plants of the last weeks. This makes me move them out and in to save me from that frustration!
