Last week at work at the Radio Scotland phone in programme, I suggested to a panellist, while discussing an email that had been sent in, prior to the programme, that it was a fat l lot of use to tell people how to care for their fuchsias obverwinter, no matter what method you tell them about, if you do not also tell them when to take the plants OUT of whatever place/regime you have them in and when and how to restart growth! It is almost a given that anyone giving advice for overwintering will NOT tell you these vital facts about restarting into growth.... drives me crazy, and not only because I then have to spend the next while on the phone answering the puzzled listeners calling in to ask!!
David, thanks very much for the link.I have no idea where I got the idea they needed smoke for germination.These grew in the bush surrounding my home when I was a kid.Was the best part of the christmas season for me.
wow what a site that must of been.
