Early Care of Your New Fuchsia 

Plant shipped will come in a 2" pot. Transplant immediately to a larger pot (4" to 6") using a well-draining, all purpose, potting soil. Water thoroughly.  Do not let the soil dry completely nor allow the plant to sit in soggy soil. Keep plant protected from freeze and frost. For best results, fertilize regularly with a container friendly product following the manufactures directions for use. Water soluble, slow release, and organic products are all acceptable choices. Place the plant in a well lit area. The plant will grow better in a brighter spot than shady. It will be best protected from the hot afternoon sun. Keep protected from the wind.
