# Hello everyone! I’m Hannah and I had a question regarding my Fuchsia…

_Posted by Hannah on 2026-06-02_

Hello everyone! I’m Hannah and I had a question regarding my Fuchsia tree. My tree’s leaves have been wilting lately and I was wondering, what is causing that? It’s a fairly new plant and hasn’t been repotted out of the nursery pot. I have been watering it every other day. Though, I’m not sure if it’s absorbing the water.

Take a photo of your post and upload to chatGBT. It’ll give you a solid rundown and what to try. It looks like your soil might be hydrophobic or your rootball may be dry. 🙂

Check to see if it needs repotting. Some of my plants that I’ve got recently have been root bound! 4 plants I got less than a month ago all needed to be repotted and I didn’t realize until I observed same thing you did, as well as the plant not growing. I have a fuchsia too and when she wilted it was because I inspected the plant to find many of her thin branches were a bit damaged and bent. I just cut them off, repotted, fertilized and watered more often. Inspect yours for any damage. She’s doing good now but she’s inside by the a/c. Fuchsias don’t like the heat too much
