Fuschia Cuttings Instructions Rooting

Take cuttings quickly before the tips get too woody. Use a shoot about 2" long with a pair of leaves and a growing tip. Cut under the next leaf node. Best to take few. Bury them up to the top of the shoot in a peat compost. Water well and keep the pot in a plastic bag and tie it. On a window sill, they should root in a couple of weeks. If the shoots are hard and woody, they could take quite a bit longer. No need to use rooting powder. Don't pot on just because the tips get bigger. Wait another couple of weeks.

The easiest way to preserve the parent plant is bury it , in its pot, on its side. over a foot down. Don't touch it until the end of March, then keep it on a widow sill. Prune just the bigger branches. When new growth appears, prune hard to the new shoots. If you have cuttings (you should) you could plant it outside about the beginning of June.
