There is much new and even thrilling to be found throughout the year cycle of the fuchsias. Each month has got its own charm and specific requirements for care and other activities related to fuchsias. In posts, arranged in months, i will show here the progress of my plants with many photographs and informations related to my passion of collecting fuchsias. The calendar points to the 03. January 2014, and the year-cycle of the fuchsias has already begun.
(The Photograph is not from today!)
Welcome to my time-trip to the year cycle of fuchsias!
There might be quite some discussion or philosophical dispute, wether the shape or nature of the plant and also the form or color of the leaves may be as well decisive for declaring a fuchsia to be beautiful.
Whether it is snowing or freezing outdoors, in the greenhouse the heater maintains a temperature above 6°C. To keep the costs of heating at bay, the windows should be regularly controlled for tightness. (more…)
The moon is descending, and i am keen enough to try the first cuttings this year!
Some of my Fuchsias in the greenhouse are sprouting rapidly. I have to start pinching, to grow the plants bushy and keep them from getting to widespreading. This is the right time to plant cuttings, other then waisting the cuts. Scince i read a few articles about that the best time to plant is the time of the descending moon, i will have to wait 3 more days to cut the plants. But i am quite impatient and looking forward to it!
Many years ago this was my opinion, scince the overwintering of plants like Fuchsias and Pelargonias was impossible and frustrating to me, the outcome annoying. In the meantime i became familiar with preparing the Fuchsias for the “hybernation” (you should Know!) and their accommodation during winter.
