Hi. Fuchsias should root easily . Make sure they are in a well aerated compost. Peat, sharp sand and Perlite or Vermiculite It is essential they have moist atmosphere, shaded light, warm temperature and aerated compost.
The older the shoot used as a cutting the longer it takes to root. Very young cuttings need polythene cover to retain constant humidity. Good luck.

Yes, do make sure you don't compress the rooting medium too hard around the cuttings - they seem to take great exception to that! I also find that *most* fuchsias root easily in water from softwood cuttings - I usually get about an 80% success rate. Hardwood cuttings in water usually just rot before they root.
