Author Message   Scotkat  My Garden Journal My Garden Posted on Sunday, October 01, 2006 - 09:35 am EST :    Charming by name and charming she is,took this photo on Thur 29th Sept. Have now taken her indoors in the hope I can overwinter her. I am now away to go out to my greenhouse and take my fuchsias indoors and decide what I am to keep or discard. After that shall make a start to my journal. Scotkat - Scotland, Zone "?"   Rain1950  Posted on Sunday, October 01, 2006 - 11:18 am EST :    Looks great! By 'over-wintering' you mean allowing it to go dormant, right? Except for the encliandras, all fuschias need a period of dormancy during the winter; the nature of the beast.

I overwinter these ones in my greenhouse, where I keep temperature up to approx 6 degrees Celcius, keep them rather dry -spray lightly until February- and then the new growth starts (I hope!) Gerda Perkie - Gelderland, Zone "Nederland"   Scotkat  My Garden Journal My Garden Posted on Sunday, October 08, 2006 - 11:17 am EST :    This year shall keep a samll amount of fuchsia in my heated conservatory shall keep them dry and yes spray lightly untill new growth appears. Hopefully this shall be a success for me lost all my fuchsias that were buried in atrench last yr as it was a very cold winter indeed. Scotkat - Scotland, Zone "?"
