"I am fairly new at gardening, but I NEED to learn more about it, as my favorite plants (Fuchsias) require me to! I absolutely ADORE these, but they are hard to keep alive in Houston, TX... I did keep a Swingtime Fuchsia alive through last summer, but it barely hung on due to Spider Mites! I was clueless as to what in the world was killing my plant so quickly, but after contacting a Fuchsia Society in Oregon, I was able to get them under control and it is still with me. This year I purchased 4 more, and I am having the same type of problem - only this time, Garden Safe Fungicide 3 doesn't seem to be doing the trick!
They do live inside, so I figure once they're free of insect infestations, they'll stay that way... If there is ANYONE in my area who can help me out with how to keep Fuchsias alive and well (pest-free), PLEASE help me out! I literally cried when I thought my 1st was going to die - I truly love my Fuchsias..." |

"This is me with Fuchsias, the little fairy flowers (as I call them) in Butchart Gardens. I loved them from the moment I laid eyes on them..." |
