One of which is a collection of Fucshia's. [Carnival Collection, from Van Meuwen, if you want to look them up.] Can anyone tell me the easiest way to propogate from these please? That way I'll be able to offer some swaps next year.

Keep everything really clean or you will have trouble This is a good site http://www.fuchsiaflower.co.uk/cuttingspage.htm Last Edited By: Flowerofshona 12-04-08 16:47. Edited 2 times.

I have about 170 'mother plants' that is all they are for is to produce cutting material ! i strip them at the end of Sept of all their leaves and they produce a nice flush of new shoots in a few weeks, in the spring i harvest the new seasons shoots in the same way.
