Fuschia problems :(

Hi all

I've got a problem with some fuchsias I wonder if someone can help me with?
I was given some small plants, different varieties, which I put into a small pvc greenhouse for a couple of days. Unfortunately, one of the days in question was extremely hot and the plants on the top shelf (and nearest to the plastic) have been frazzled. The leaves are now dry and crispy and the stems also see very dry as well.

Is there anything I can do to help them? They've since been out and have had plenty of water and rain but don't look any 'different' as yet. I don't want to ruin them any further by doing the wrong thing! Should I remove the leaves that are dry? Can't see any new growth or anything as yet.

Excuse my ignorance with this, I'm quite new to this part of gardening and learning all the time! :o

These have sentimental value because of the varieties they are and I would hate to lose them! :(

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Hi Pernalla and welcome to GC. It doesn`t sound promising I`m afraid. I`d say that best you can do is out them somewhere sheltered and only water if it`s dry, and hope for the best. Cheers...freddy.

 

Thanks Freddy. I'll do as you say, keep an eye on them and hope for the best!
If it fails, the person who gave me them does have another of each so I can have them hopefully.

Thanks again

 

If you snip off a small part of a stem, take a look at the cut and if it's brown its dead, if it is greenish there's hope.

Thanks g.man, will check it out, fingers crossed!
