Make sure that there is no insect or disease damage. Check the point where the leaf meets the stem of the plant as this is a common place for insects to take up their abode.

Hang or plant your fuschia in a semi-shaded area. They prefer cooler temperatures and not too much sun.

3
Look for pests or disease. Rotate pesticides to assure you have killed off every kind of pest.

Fertilize regularly. Every 2 weeks is a good standard. These plants need a great deal of nutrition.

I have hanging and bush, both do real well and I think they are one of the most prettiest flower you can have in your yard. I'm on the central coast of California and they do well. I had alot when I lived in the eas bay area and they loved being in the shade of my trees.
