when to take fuschia cutting for next year

Have you seen Crazydi's blog about taking cuttings? It's great, very simple to follow, with photos. It's inspired me to do cuttings for the very first time. I think she mentions fuschias, from memory, but check it out anyway.

now is a good time to take fuchsia cuttings, either stick them in a pot and cover with clear plastic or put them in a bottle of rainwater (see my pics) or terratoonies blog on rainwater cuttings.

Also try typing 'fuschia cuttings' into the search box in the green bar at top of page, there are other members with ideas too.

They are so easy just snip the tip off a healthy stem one that has about 4 leaves, then push them gently into the compost that has perlite added to it.The leaves should rest on the surface.water in and keep cool.I put about 4 in a small plant pot.I hope this is of some help.

you have all been a great help thanks, gonna have a go fingers crossed!

Well, I take cuttings from when the plants are in full leaf, 'bout May onwards here, even took some last week, from huge plant with masses of flowers, on non-flowering stem, I just poke in a pot of compost, they almost always grow :) good luck.
