Re: Fuschia
Little Miss Fuschia is now planted into a big pot to grow on. Any ideas on how long it'll take to grow a nice thick trunk?

Re: Fuschia
Couple of years at least, depends on how thick you want before you start work! Encourage as much growth as you can, don't trim it back too often or you will slow it down. Good luck with it
If you are not killing plants, then you are not extending yourself as a gardener..

Re: Fuschia
I just wanted to post a photo of how well my little Fuschia is coming along. It's so full and healthy now, you touch it and it's so soft and the branches and leaves just bounce back.

It's also had a heap of flowers just recently and looked spectacular
