Disease
Fuchsia can be prone to rust, a fungal infection that thrives in moist conditions and primarily affects the plant's appearance. Take a few basic preventative measures to keep your plants looking healthy.
1. Water at the base of each plant in the morning, allowing the soil to dry between waterings and avoiding getting foliage and flowers wet.
2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.
3. Grow your plants in bright light. Sunshine is great at killing fungus!

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
