Watering

Steady mild soil dampness, avoid fully dried potting medium

Fertilizing

Weak flowering shrub feed monthly spring through summer

Pruning

Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.

Propagation

Propagate by seed or from semi-ripe or softwood cuttings

Growing

Plant outdoors in a fertile soil with protection from cold, drying winds and frost. In colder areas, grow as a conservatory plant or bring inside for winter. See tender fuchsia cultivation for further information
