Fuchsias are classified into groups according to their growth pattern and habit. So we have hanging, semi-hanging and upright fuchsia.In containers they are grown in the form of shrubs or limbs.
Fuchsia - position
Cool, slightly airy, but sheltered from strong winds are suitable for growing fuchsia.Plants do not tolerate heat well, so it is best to place them in a semi-shaded place (without direct sunlight) or in a luminous shadow. Only a few varieties can tolerate the sun.

The substrate must maintain a moderate level of moisture during the growth period. The ground cannot be too dry or too wet. In February, before starting vegetation, the shoots should be trimmed.Fuchsia tolerates even very radical pruning.The current removal of faded flowers makes the plants bloom practically all summer long.
