Cape fuchsia

Cape fuchsia plants should be watered regularly and evenly, ensuring soil is kept moist but not waterlogged. In general, apply enough water to keep the soil moist 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) deep. In warm and dry climates, water every 1-2 days. In cooler climates, every 2-3 days is usually sufficient. During the spring and summer months, increase the water frequency to every other day in warmer climates, and every 3-4 days in cooler temperatures. Additionally, Cape fuchsia plants that are planted in containers should be watered daily when soil is dry to touch. During winter months, allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Cape fuchsia (Phygelius aequalis 'Crosnoque' CROFTWAY SNOW QUEEN) thrives best in bright, indirect sunlight. Ideally it should be placed in an area that receives some direct morning sunlight and some indirect afternoon sunlight. It is important to ensure the plant does not receive direct sunlight in the afternoon as this can burn the leaves. Additionally, the plant should not receive more than 6 hours of direct sunlight per day as this can cause the leaves to scorch and burn. It is best to put the plant in an area that receives morning direct sunlight and then provide indirect sunlight for the remainder of the day.

Cape fuchsia (Phygelius aequalis 'Crosnoque' CROFTWAY SNOW QUEEN) can be pruned at any time between November and April. Pruning should be done lightly, removing up to 1-third of the height of the plant and any dead, diseased or injured branches. To help maintain a neat shape, lightly prune the lateral shoots. In general, avoid cutting into bare wood as this will reduce flowering in subsequent years.
