"My couple of little fuschias still have flowers. Shall I prune them to a main stem now or wait until the flowers finish?"
I have started to prune mine back and repot ready to go into the greenhouse for the winter months. My main reason for starting this work now is because I have so many to do  By all means Penny enjoy the last few weeks of the flowers. As a general and easy rule when the leaves start to 'yellow' that is quite early enough to prune and repot. Leaving them outside in a shady spot after doing this, also helps them to come back into growth, this is aided by the early morning dews and and cooler weather.

Thanks, very much, Kath, for the information. I only have two fuschias, along with some cuttings in a pot, so I'll enjoy the flowers for a little longer. Good luck with all yours.
