What to do... what to do?

in #gardening7 years ago

My Fucksia is not growing as well as I was hoping for. I do suspect it doesn't like the hot weather here. I took a small plant from my mum. She normally keeps all the Fuchsias outside from spring until late fall and just overwinters them at home in a cooler spot. But Polish weather is a lot cooler and rainier than Portuguese. Even if there are some heat waves, they do not last long.

The first year I had it was growing well. This year it didn't grow too many leaves, didn't bush out as it should and the leaves it has start to yellow fast and fall. It looks like it just wants to die. It blooms, but also not too many flowers.

And now I have two options what to do with it:

  1. Move it inside away from the direct sun.
  2. Move it to a much bigger pot (it will stay cooler longer) and leave it on the balcony...

Would be a shame to lose it. The flowers are really nice!

What do you think, Suzi. What should we do with it?

Move it to a bigger pot and inside. They dislike sun and the leaves look very dry

Yes ma'am! :)
