lady's eardrops

Lady's Eardrops (Fuchsia (group)) should be watered when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. During the growing season, it's important to water deeply and regularly to ensure the soil stays evenly moist. Water thoroughly but avoid overwatering. In the wintertime, water less frequently but make sure the soil doesn't dry out completely. Lady's Eardrops will also benefit from an occasional misting to keep the leaves from drying out.

Fuchsia (group) plants require 8 to 12 hours of sunlight per day for successful growth. They prefer full sun in the morning, with some shade in the afternoon. During the summer months, they will thrive in temperatures between 55–85 °F (12.78–29.44 °C) and slightly cooler temperatures in the winter months. While Lady's Eardrops can tolerate some partial shade, they will suffer from leaf scorching in full sun with dry temperatures. It is important to choose a planting site with some afternoon shade to preserve their leaves and flowers.

The Lady's Eardrops (Fuchsia (group)) requires very minimal pruning, only when necessary. Pruning should be done in the early spring or late fall when the plant is not actively growing. Start by removing any damaged, dead, or diseased branches or shoots and any stems that are crossing over each other. Additionally, you can take this opportunity to shape the plant and ensure it is at a reasonable size. For any pruning of a Lady's Eardrop, make sure to cut just above a node, or lateral bud, to promote new growth.
