Fuchsia - cut
In order for the fuchsias to keep their dense habit, prune them in the spring, after the new leaves appear. On the plant in the form of a bush, cut the top of the main shoot, and shorten the side shoots to sections with one or two pairs of leaves.On the tree, we can trim all the shoots, leaving two or three pairs of leaves.

Before the first frost, transfer fuchsia to a dark room with a temperature of 5-10 ° C. We water them sparingly and often ventilate them. From March onwards, fuchsia needs more light.In mid-May we take them out into the open air.
