Fuchsia is an indoor plant that is not difficult to care for.

In this article, we will tell you why fuchsia does not bloom.

Why fuchsia does not bloom and what can be done

Fuchsia is not considered a picky flower. If the plant sheds its leaves and does not bloom, it means that it strongly dislikes the conditions of its maintenance or the care provided.

For example, inappropriate temperature in the house.

Young plants should be regularly watered with settled water at room temperature as the top layer of soil dries.

The soil should always be barely moist, but in no case over-moistened.

If fuchsia is insufficiently watered, leaves and buds may dry out and crumble, and flowers may wither.

To achieve fuchsia flowering, provide the best location for the flower on a windowsill with diffused light.

Also, organize watering with soft, settled water and ensure good drainage when planting.

It is also important to spray fuchsia frequently and protect it from drafts.

Excess moisture in the soil causes root rot.

Do I need to prune fuchsia

For good branching, each fuchsia shoot needs to be pinched. For regrown shoots, pruning is important.

The purpose of pinching is to stimulate shoot branching; to do this, remove the growing point on each shoot after 1-2 pairs of leaves.

Pinch the tips of the shoots of young bushes or trailing fuchsias to make the plants bushier and bloom more profusely.
