October - 1
Climate
Fuchsias begin to recover as autumn unfurls and morning temperature drops
in October. All my fuchsias, except F. fulgens managed to survive the summer.
It's time to resume feeding to encourage healthy growth, which enables you to pinch off growth tips several times before winter - an important step to make your fuchsias laden with flowers in the next spring.

Fuchsias in October
In October, fuchsias can be grown in the balcony.
As the sunlight in early October is still a bit too strong, caution should be used not to sunburn the leaves.
Compost begins to dry more quickly. It is because fuchsias take water more vigorously. You should be careful not to dry up fuchsias, especially if you are using well-drained compost.

Fuchsias which survived summer
Gartenmeister Bonstedt (Oct. 5)
I like autumn flowers of Gartenmeister Bonstedt better than those in summer, because they are more vivid.
Other flowers in the photo:
Justicia carnea, and
Ceratotheca triloba.

F. procumbens (Oct. 8)
F. procumbens survives our harsh summer reliably. The plant on the right is several years old, planted in 13.5 cm dia. pot.
The leaf color, which is still pale in early October will soon recover.

Machu Picchu (Oct. 8)
Although the leaves are still thin and flimsy, new healthy leaves will appear in late October.
Machu Picchu develops flower buds in autumn as well as spring.
