Just finished watering my pots and found the fushia that is in a pot looking on its last legs, not sure how that happened as i am very good at watering every evening, maybe i forgot to do it last night.I have watered well and moved to the shade and stood in a bowl of water to see if it recovers.I will be sad to loose it as it was part of my retirement gift 3 years ago. Anyone else managed to revive one that looks half dead??

I should have said it worked for one of mine I took in doors in winter but then kept forgetting to water it. I cut it back really hard in the spring and it rewarded me by coming back to life again!
I have several fushias and they do take a bit of watering. One of mine which is just starting to bloom is in a hanging basket and it gets about 1 litre every night. Tonight it was looking a little limp. This has happened a few times and it always perks after a good soaking.
Good luck.
It all depends on what kind of fuschia, the annual, or the perennial type?
If annual, then try and revive it with water and a feed, you can try the same with a perennial but if it doesn’t respond to that, then you can cut it back.
An annual does what it says on the tin.
Our fuchsia looked all but dead in spring but a helpful gransnetter said it will come back if you water and feed- we did and it did. Keep the faith.
