Away from the West Coast, fuchsia cultivation varies from somewhat to considerably more difficult. Once daytime temperatures reach the low 40s, most fuchsias lose their leaves. Below freezing many die, and at 20oF, very few of the more than 600 hybrids can survive. Below 0oF, none survive. Many gardeners in these unfavorable climates get around the fuchsia's petulance about hot nights by treating the plant as a one-season outdoor performer.
Some varieties definitely can take more heat than most.
Water daily if it's hot, every other day if it's not. The watering should moisten the roots as well as mist the environment. Feed with a complete fertilizer every two to four weeks, or as frequently as the fertilizer label indicates. After flowers fall, they usually leave fat reddish or brownish berries. Pests are usually not much of a problem.
