Fuchsia Pest and Diseases
Pests and Diseases
Once a fuchsia is established, very few pests and disease attack them. During
the early stages of development though, they are prone to a few pests and diseases.
Two key weapons in attacking fuchsia pests and diseases before they
attack are cleanliness and moisture. Keep all debris away from the
plants, especially from the surface of the compost surrounding the
plant. Leaves frequently drop, and they need to be thrown away before
they begin to decompose.
Many fuchsia pests thrive in dry conditions - to avoid this, spray
the plants with a mist of water as often as possible, especially the
underside of the leaves. Click on any of the pests / diseases below for
details of how to recognise and treat them.
