I live in Ohio-right now it is 15 degrees and we are anticipating 3-4 days of nightmare storms-so all my fuchsias are potted up and sitting in a crawl space.I took cuttings in September,rooted them in a plug flat and now they are VERY large.I am rather nervous as I have about 4 more months before they can go outside.How many times can I pinch a trailer?Will it eventually adversly affect its health?
Some of the uprights have new stem growth at the soil line .Pinch it off? Other uprights have additional stems growing along the root line.Cut then off?Also,when should I pot up trailers in hanging baskets ? I have ordered a 4x6 portable walk-in greenhouse that I will set up on my deck with heater and thermostat to accomodate my plants as space is dwindling in the basement each time I pot up to larger size.Next will be 6 inch pots.Yikes! I am feeding with miracle grow at about 3/4 strength every other time I water.Too much?Anyone who has any experience with this please pipe in.Normally greenhouses in our area do not begin to take fuchsia cuttings until January!
