❄ How to Overwinter Fuchsia Baskets ❄ #fuchsia #overwintering

Are you thinking of overwintering ❄ your fuchsia basket plants? Watch how we force our hanging fuchsia plant to go dormant so we can store it over this winter. 😁😲👍 This is part of our daily garden video series, Spoken Garden Daily, that we filmed for a whole year. This is day 215!

Hand Tools to Trim Your Fuchsia Plant:

In this video, we show you how we are overwintering our fuchsia hanging basket plant. You'll see how we measure how much to cut away from the fuchsia plant and then other steps to make sure our plant is forced into dormancy. Definitely leave your comments and questions ❓ below if you plan to overwinter your fuchsia plants and, if you have done it before, how you overwinter them. And, thank you for watching! 😁

In case this is your 1st time watching one of our many videos, we've been filming a daily video since March 2020 when we went under quarantine (previously called the "Quarantined Gardeners"). We've been sharing and teaching others how we're gardening and spending our time throughout quarantine. Now that we aren't really quarantined, we still want to share our daily garden activities with you with a new name, "Spoken Garden Daily." We've run our small business, Spoken Garden, since 2018, and as gardeners, podcasters, and small business owners, we felt it was important to connect with and teach others gardening skills on YouTube. Come join us every day to see what we are doing in our garden and THANK YOU for watching and subscribing! 😀

🌿 We also feature a growing collection of garden care videos focused on tasks, tips and tricks, hacks, and garden questions we answer from our various audience and community members.

Thanks for this! I am in the UK, and I've had 3 beautiful container grown fuschias this year which I don't want to lose. Will follow your advice and see if I manage to keep them! If I lose them, will treat this as a learning curve and hope for better results next year.

I will attempt to overwinter my 2 hanging baskets of fushias for the 1st time. Thank you for guiding me :)

[toninelson]

I didn’t know that over wintering fuschia was possible. Thank you for the information. Definitely going to do this ❤

[Myusernamehere]

Great video. No extra junk. Just short and to the point. Thanks for the information!

[krisyallowega]

Thumbs up times two! Bang-bang!
I could compose a 3 page novella on my journey through overwintering tender perennials but I will save you from my ramblings. I will just opine by stating if more gardeners did this the happier they would be.

I appreciate the idea to put a reminder in the phone. I lost some plants due to forgetting to water!

I have dozens of fuschia plants. I experiment every year on treating them through winter. They will do absolutely fine with no pruning and no special treatment. We have bitterly cold winters here in the UK. Most of mine I will leave as they are and give a good prune back in March/early April.

Thanks for letting know your experiences with the fuchsia in winter nice couples

[GardeningforBeginners]

i was waiting for you to cut the snapped branch Cheers ray

[kristenhart]

When do you recommend trimming it back and putting it in a garage? September, October…? Should I cover it to minimize light? I plan to try this and I have a heated garage that stays 50-ish F all winter.

[Feledwards]

This is awesome information. Thanks for sharing

I just discovered your channel when looking for information for gladiolus corms. Today I bought a magnificent fuchsia basket and I did a search and your channel came up again. I hit the subscribe button. I have a question about this fuchsia that you overwintered. Did I wake up in blooms for you this spring?

[anoopamashreya]

Hi..did that Fuschia survive the winter successfully? How is that plant doing now?

[thekingiscoming]

Thanks for the video. What happens if I put the Fuchsia basket in a room with a temperature of 40-50 without cutting a third of the branches?

[annalegler]

I am going try this with mine. And recommendations for geraniums

[paulwestwood]

Good morning from the UK! I was wondering what to do with my five fuchsia baskets now I'm sorted - I've had to go a long way to get he answers though :-) Many thanks.

[kathystewart]

What about light ? After plant is all trimmed back & clean

[mycornergarden]

Hi from uk 🇬🇧 I've had a fascia tree in the ground for 5 yrs had ace flower on it last year beginning 2021 started get green buds checked yesterday all leaves are crunchy 😪😪and stems are peeling and advice welcome xx

[delilahrainelle]

Last year I successfully overwintered 2 fuchsias. I also successfully propagated 6 new plants from the 2. Last winter and having only 2 plants I kept them in a darkened area of my home, but there’s no way I can accommodate 8.

I have an unheated basement where I believe they will the temperatures, but there’s very little light. How much light does a dormant fuchsia require over winter?

[Anna-ceod]

I have one of those fuses that I bought this year and I am wondering if I can just let it grow and if I put it in a bigger pot and keep it inside instead of outside and I took the hanging off and brought it inside on my table I just want to keep it healthy all the time I don't want to cut it down or restart the plant is that a good idea
