FUCHSIA SEEDS
بذور زهور الفوشيا

Potting:

1. Container & Soil: Choose a pot with good drainage holes and fill it with rich, well-draining soil. Fuchsia prefers soil that retains some moisture but drains well, so a mix of potting soil with compost or peat moss works best.
2. Sowing: Start fuchsia seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds gently onto the surface of the soil, as they need light to germinate.

Growing:

1. Light: Fuchsia does best in partial shade or dappled sunlight. Full sun can be too harsh, so place in a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade.
2. Temperature: Ideal temperatures for germination are around 70°F (21°C). Once grown, fuchsia prefers cooler temperatures (60-70°F or 15-21°C) and can struggle in extreme heat.

Watering:

1. Frequency: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during blooming, but avoid overwatering. Let the top inch of soil dry out slightly before watering again.
2. Drainage: Ensure excellent drainage, as fuchsia roots are sensitive to soggy soil.

Maintenance:

1. Pruning: Pinch back growing tips on young plants to encourage bushier growth. Regularly remove dead flowers to promote continuous blooming.
2. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season to encourage vibrant flowers.
3. Pest Control: Watch for aphids and whiteflies, which can affect fuchsia. Use organic insecticides as needed.
