Fuchsia Cuttings

May 10th

When moving plants ready to plant out I took a few fuchsia cuttings. These root very easy in the sand of my propagator, they do not need any special treatment. You cut with a sharp knife put them in the sand and they root. When taking fuchsia cuttings however it is worth having a good look at the plant because sometimes you will find the odd stem with 3 leaves against the normal 2. If you use these stems you get more stems to form the plant when you pinch the tip out to make it break. The photo shows the cuttings in the sand. I will take other photos when they root.
