Fuchsia Bonsai

Position: The tree prefers a bright, sunny spot if you wish to grow extensive flowering. Otherwise, provide the tree some shade in the afternoon. The tree needs to be either put inside or protected from temperatures below 5 degrees C (41F).

Watering: Normal watering, misting is advisable as the tree likes high humidity.

Feeding: No specificities

Pruning: To increase ramifications prune/pinch the tree regularly during the growth season. If you wish to grow thicker branches or a thicker trunk remove the flowers at all times, but do not prune the branches.

Repotting: As the Fuchsia’s root system grows rapidly, annual repotting is required. A basic soil mix can be used.

Propagation: Use cuttings during the summer.
