Australian fuchsia are evergreen shrubs known for their bell-shaped flowers and ability to thrive in a range of environments. Basic care requires moderate sun exposure, well-draining acidic soil, and regular watering to maintain moist soil, especially during growth periods. Overwatering, poor drainage, and extreme temperatures are common challenges. Pests like aphids and scale insects, along with root rot, can affect health. Seasonally, australian fuchsia may need protection from frost in winter and reduced watering in the dormant period.
