I bought a lovely hanging Fuchsia, just about 3 weeks ago, and it is dying. Although I thought the soil was quite moist, 80 % of the leaves and all of the flowers have dried up. It looks horrible. Is there anything I can do to save it?

If I was to make a guess based only on odds, it would be that you over-watered or over-fertilized, in that order. It's in a shady spot - right? If you fertilized .... with what? what strength solution?

too much light, they love shade. If there is any green left, cut it back (not all the way back) and start over may take a bit for it to come out of it. Don't let it dry out.

Want to add they like morning sun but afternoon sun is too hot and too much sun. Over watering or underwatering can do it too. check soil before watering .
