Something wrong? (Photos)
Comments (5)Did you just purchase this fuchsia? Or did you grow it from starts? What kind of pot is it in? I would say that normally a plant that large and blooming as profusly as that was, that the fish emulsion is not the right fertilizer. I don't have any in front of me but fish runs kind of 1-2-1 or some such. I would think it would need more of a bloom type fertilizer. The P in NPK is phosphorus. The middle one. That is for feeding blooming plants. I just purchased some fertilizer today because my tomatoes and fuchsias were not producing the fruit and blooms I felt they should. It is 10-60-10. I didn't really want as high as 60 but I had been using 15-30-15 and this was the only thing they had higher than that. I just won't use as much. Good luck.

Comments (3)One thing that might be happening is that notepad may be adding a .txt extension to the file. By default, Windows explorer hides extensions when they're known file types, so it's possible that a file you thought was saved as index.html was actually saved as index.html.txt (even though it appears to be index.html in explorer). To change that, from the explorer (not internet explorer, but windows explorer) menu, choose tools/folder options, then choose the View tab. Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types and click either Apply or Apply to All Folders (I always set it this way for all folders). Once you've done that, you can correct the extension if that's what was wrong....See MoreI am still doing something wrong with photos...
Comments (9)here's a formula that works fine; omit the two a's that I inserted , and leave no space ( if I don't break up the formula, the formula shows up a question mark ?) so it should be then "your picture url pasted here" then > as for the url you use, if you right click on your picture, you should get a drop down menu that gives you the option "open in another window", that would be the url to copy and paste. try practicing in the Test forum and see if this works.

Comments (16)Great! (The new leaves). If the stick comes out dry, now is a good time to flush the soil. Brief tutorial: Flushing Soils Water-retentive soils that can't be flushed during our regular water applications or soils that have been watered in small "sips" need to be flushed regularly to ensure salts from tap-water and fertilizer solutions aren't accumulating in the soil and limiting the plant's ability to take up water. To flush the soil of a planting: Water with room temperature water until the soil is completely saturated. Allow the planting to rest for 15 minutes to an hour so as much accumulated salt as possible goes into solution. Then, slowly pour a volume of room temp water equal to at least 10X the volume of the pot the plant is in through the soil. This will remove most of any accumulation of salts and resolve any skewing of nutrient ratios. It's a good idea, no matter what time of year, to fertilize any plants that are at least reasonably healthy immediately after flushing the soil. Try to be sure you're using a fertilizer that has a ratio as close as possible to the ratio at which the plant uses nutrients. The NPK % listed on fertilizer packaging is not its ratio. 7-7-7 and 14-14-14 are 1:1:1 ratios. 9-3-6, 12-4-8, and 24-8-16, are all 3:1:2 ratios. Container growers should try very hard to avoid use of fertilizers advertised as 'bloom-boosters', or any number with a middle number (Phosphorous) higher than either the first or third numbers (Nitrogen or Potassium). These fertilizers can badly skew nutrient ratios with even the first application). On average, plants use about 6x as much N as P, so there is NO potential for a positive outcome when supplying many times as much P as the plant requires. I, and a large number of other members, use Dyna-Gro's Foliage Pro 9-3-6. It's designed to closely mimic the uptake ratio of the average plant, and has many other attributes not commonly found in other fertilizers. It also has ALL of the nutrients essential to normal growth. Summarized, it makes fertilizing as easy as it can be, and, from 1 container. How you should fertilize depends on how you water and your soil choice. For instance, I use enough water that I'm flushing the soil every time I water (in summer). I fertilize with FP 9-3-6 every weekend when temperatures are appropriate. I withhold fertilizer when it's too hot or cold. The solution strength I provide it roughly twice the production rated suggested on the container. Unless your soil allows you to fertigate (fertilize + irrigate) like I do, your plants would quickly start to suffer or even die, because I depend on the soil flush with each watering. You might need to fertilize at the suggested rate, adjusted for the season, then wait a month or so and repeat a soil flush + a fertilizer application. In the end, your goal should be to make sure all the nutrients essential to normal growth and good health are in the soil at all times, in a ratio that closely mimics the ratio at which the plant takes up the nutrients, and in a concentration high enough to prevent deficiencies yet low enough to avoid limiting the plant's ability to take up water. If that sounds complicated, right? It is if you can't water correctly w/o the soil remaining soggy so long it limits root function or wrecks root health; but, if your soil DOES allow you to water appropriately, either because the soil is a very good one or because you have taken steps to limit the soil's ability to retain excess water, it's monkey easy.
