Fuchsia cuttings

10 comments


Hi all, This is coming into Fuchsia cutting repotting time. Each year i threaten to not pinch out too many but every year i always do, lol.So finding room to keep the cuttings frost free is now a problem, i have around 70 cuttings at the moment and 53 parent plants, all in our bedroom windows. I always take about 7 or 8 cuttings of each of my favourite ones (6-7 faves) to make sure i have these plants for the following year. So then here we have a problem, i can pass on about 10 rooted cuttings to any of you that would like them but…… i have never sent small plants by post before. What i would like to do is send 1 each of “Caroline” a lax bush type and 1 of “Roy Walker” a good upright bush (good standard) type to maybe three (3) people, on a first come first served basis, please PM me if you would like to try these. I feel i have to point out here that the cuttings i send will be perfectly useable but the smallest, weekest ones of those i have, this is so that we dont lose good cuttings in the post etc, if all goes well i will probably have 30 or 40 more cuttings to send out in the next few weeks.

What lovely flowers - I especially like the 2nd one. I'm sure you will get plenty of takers for your generous offer.

Happy gardening.
