If you wait until later, you will delay its flowering until mid- summer. Most fuchsias are self-cleaning. That means that they drop spent blooms. If a branch becomes long and unsightly, cut it back to maintain good shape, but don't otherwise prune a fuchsia when it is blooming. It will take twelve weeks for the pruned branch to bloom again.
Fuchsias are very easy to propagate from tip cuttings taken almost anytime.
Tips that are not blooming root the fastest. Snip the blooms off the cuttings if there are no non-blooming tips to use. Remove any leaves that will be below the soil line. With or without using a rooting hormone, stick the cuttings in small pots of a good potting soil and keep them moist and out of the direct sun. They should develop roots in about two to three weeks.
