Hi all, Here are a few pictures of my Fuchsia cuttings that are taking up so much space, i will soon be looking for a tent lol. Its a very good job i have a very understanding wife in Sue.
This first picture shows cuttings taken in the last couple of weeks.

Picture 2 ditto (box 2)

Picture 3 Ditto (box 3).

These were taken 6 to 8 weeks ago.

Final picture is of both parent plants and a few of the January cuttings, (note our bedroom)

Now, enough is enough.

I know what you mean Bob, I am the same with my Streps. I have 50 potted on in my living room windows at the moment, and the same upstairs. They are even creeping into the bathroom. The kitchen hasnt escaped either.
Your fuchsias all look lovely and healthy, so you will have a lovely show before too long.

Hi all, Thanks for the comments, i find getting success with Fuchsia cuttings so easy, just take your cutting, leave in Tepid water for 3 to 4 hours then plant. Cutting compost i use is just simply Grow bag (not cutting or multi purpose) compost mixed with sharp washed grit in proportions 1 part grit to 3-4 compost, i get 90% success like this.I never let them completely dry out but dont drown them.

You have got a huge crop of thriving fuschia there, Bob. It will give you a lovely display later in the season...and your wife can get her windowsills back too :)
