Pot up plugs and grow them on until large enough to plant outside in their final positions. Pinch out the growing points where stems have more than 2 sets of leaves, while the plants are still small - around April time - but don't do this too late as it will slow the flowering. This encourages fuchsia plants to produce more stems, making a bushier plant with more flowers. Grow basket fuchsias in containers or baskets, in any moist, well drained general purpose compost. Position in a sunny or semi shaded site.
Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season. Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced.
