Fuchsias

Thankyou MW I am going to send for them .

As this is a stunning fuchsia.

 

Cuttings arrived today, thanks Joolz

What do I do with them now? Do I just shove them in some GP compost or would it help if I dipped the un-rooted ones in rooting hormone first?

 

Many thanks MW cuttings have just arrived I am away now to pot them up and they can enjoy the company with the rest of their fuchsia pals.

No nead for rooting powder MW they will grow without but you can also use .

 

MW was over in our good nursery in Arbroath thsi afternoon and what did I find but HAnne for £1.70 and I can get 4 tip cuttings out of it so going away to pot up.

Joolz do you want HAnne and MW would you like to.

Also bought Army Nurse and Patrica Hodge will be taking tip cuttings of these to.

 

O yes pease kath,put me on the list

 

Thanks mw,all plugs potted up did you grow them like that yourself?? posh packaging aswell

 

Your names on them Joolz yes very posh packing MW and very healthy plants

 

Glad they have all arrived okay.

Alas I can't claim the credit for growing them, I bought them from Morrisons as plug plants. The packaging came with some other Fuchsias which I ordered online.

Joolz I've put your three cuttings in some loose compost on a north facing window cill. I've not soaked them but have given the compost a good spray with water. Have I done the right thing or do I need to do something else?

Kath Yes please to Heidi Ann cutting, you're right it is beautiful

Alex

They should be fine alex,theyve been in compost for 5/6 week now,i know 2 barley had root but scotkats were the same are they are ok,weather aint been great sunshine ways i mean but they should be fine potted up,if not il replace them with ones that have more chance to progress x
i would love to know how they get plug plants so nice n rooty,thats brill to post em like that x

 

Thanks Joolz, I'm sure they will be fine

And thanks Kath

 

Your Welcome Alex I shall wait till Mon now to post yours being so close to weekend.

And with the new fuchsias I have just got ,will send them unrooted along with the rooted ones.

 

Well today i took another look at my blue mirage fuchsia and there was finally just enough to take 2 tip cutting so with being impressed with the plugs from merleworld i popped them in a plug tray,fingers crossed that they will root as good I also hope the plant picks up its been sluggish compared to the rest of my mums has any1 else grew blue mirage? x

 

How are everybody's Fuchsias doing?

My cuttings from Joolz and Scotkat are doing well Still too young to plant out obviously but they're okay on the windowsill for now. They're quite tough little things aren't they? Is it possible for cuttings to produce flower buds cos there is something teeny tiny on one of them which I can think of no other explanation for?

The ones outside are doing well, especially since we had the sun last week and are really starting to grow. The Miss California which is in a small planter on its own has a couple of buds on it. The others aren't showing any yet.

 

Mine are all outside and doing fine - including those grown from GC cuttings. These are less advanced of course but I am happy for them to make root growth their priority ATM,
Jenny
so looking forward to lotsa Fuchsia piccies soon,
