Growing Fuchsias

Great Britain: Croom Helm. Trade Paperback. This book traces the history of the plant from its discovery on a Caribbean island in the early eighteenth century, through the hands of the pioneer hybridisers and plantsmen to the present day where in temperate climates, it has become one of the most widely grown plants, its ornamental features having been developed for greenhouse, garden and show-bench. This book has been written so that the grower can achieve the full potential from his plants, and in covering almost every aspect of fuchsia culture, deals with each phase of growth from propagation; types of cuttings; potting and potting techniques; rooting and potting mediums, including formulas for self-mixe; fertilisers and nutrients for potting mediums and feeding programmes with notes on requirements, deficiencies and the action on plant growth. The many and varied forms in which the plant can be trained are individually and fully described to enable show-bench perfection to be achieved.
