I have taken in a Fuschia for winter.

Does it need water added at certain times,
until it goes back out after the frosts.

If this is a hardy fuchsia then it is better for it not to be indoors but outside covered in fleece if necessary. Otherwise keep it lightly watered but err on the side of dryness keeping the compost just moist.

Don't move it outside now, hardy or not - its not clear whether you simply want to keep the plant more or less dormant, but alive, or whether you're treating it as a houseplant and letting it grow properly. If you're just keeping it alive but dormant, give some water when you see the leaves droop. In an unheated room, that would probably be a couple of times over winter, in a heated room, more often.
