FUCHSIA CULTURE 
Fuchsias are a shade loving plant. 
They are easy to grow and respond 
readily to a little care, even a small 
plant will bloom profusely in six 
months. They take morning sun but 
will not do well in full sun except 
directly on the coast. 
SOIL 
For pots or baskets, an ideal soil mix- 
ture is as follows: Two parts Oak Leaf 
Mold, one part soil and one part steer 
manure. Tuberous Begonia pot Mix- 
ture may also be used with excellent 
results. 
WATER 
The soil should be kept moist at all 
times but not soggy wet. Too harsh a 
water pressure directly on the foliage 
sometimes causes yellow leaves—the 
19 
reason for this is the leaf stem cracks 
slightly encouraging a new leaf to 
start and push the old one off. 
FERTILIZING 
For pots and baskets, we use Full 
Bloom fertilizer in the bottom third of 
the potting mixture. Hurry-up fish em- 
ulsion is fed regularly every two weeks 
throughout the growing season. These 
two fertilizers are used exclusively in 
our nursery for all our fertilizing sche- 
dule. We highly recommend them for 
use on all plants. 
PESTS 
Pest control is easy for fuchsias. Use 
a spray with an oil base as buds 
begin to appear and use it regularly. 
This will control aphis, white fly, 
mealy-bug, thrip and red spider.
