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.

Planted in a climate that experiences winter freezing, the vegetative part of a fuchsia will freeze down to the soil level through the winter. In the Spring when the soil warms, the plant will grow and revegetate from the underground plant structure. Hardiness refers to plants planted in the ground. Fuchsias planted in containers must be winter protected to keep the entire root ball from freezing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW210485961 BCX0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW210485961 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW210485961 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210485961 BCX0\"\u003eFuchsias planted in the ground can tolerate a lot of sunlight.
