watering

To ensure the best care of Lady's Ear Drops (Fuchsia 'Gartenmeister'), it is best to water it regularly. During the growing season (spring through fall), this plant should be watered when the soil feels dry an inch or 2 below the surface, giving it enough water to saturate the soil, but taking care not to overwater. In the winter months, the plant should be watered even more sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Fertilizer may also be used during the growing season to encourage additional growth, and it should be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

sunlight

Lady's Eardrops (Fuchsia 'Gartenmeister') prefers full to partial sunlight and should be planted in a spot that gets at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. When possible, direct sunlight should be spread out throughout the day, rather than concentrated in 1 light period. The ideal sunlight for this plant species would be morning and late afternoon sun. Lady's Eardrops are drought tolerant and require very little water once established, except during extended dry spells.

pruning

Lady's Ear Drops (Fuchsia 'Gartenmeister') should be pruned regularly in the late spring to early summer to keep it looking at its best. The exact timing will vary depending on the climate, but is typically between May and mid-June. Pruning in the spring will ensure that growth is encouraged and dead and diseased foliage is removed. To prune your Lady's Ear Drops, you should remove any dead, diseased or damaged branches. Additionally, you should cut back any overly long branches and thin out crowded branches to encourage fuller growth. Be sure to use clean and sharp pruning tools while pruning to avoid any damage to the plant.
