Hi all, Early last week most of my Fuchsia’s seemed to be well past there best, so Sue and i decided to go mad and have a clear up/out. We went around all the baskets/tubs/planters etc taking off all the Fuchsia heads and seed pods, i take as many as possible off as the flower heads drop.After this we cut a few back and had a few that still had the odd buds, a good water then the next day a good feed with high Potash feed.Lo and behold 7-8 days later loads more Flowers appear (a late flush).

Hi Stickitoffee, Most Tomato foods are high in Potash, but the Vitax that i use has twice as much Potash as Nitrogen, ie N-P-K =1-0-2.
