My Tom and Lady Thumb fuschias both have yellowing leaves with dark blotches. I recently bought a Son of Thumb and that has started doing the same. They are all potted. Tom and Lady Thumb I have had in pots several years. Can anyone help with cause and remedy please. Thank you.

I've got a few like that, but as they are coming to the end of their flowering season I don't mind. Strip all the leaves off, take them away from the compost and get it ready for sleeping over winter.
When it gets colder, put it in a cold greenhouse, shed or conservatory. Whatever you've go. It will shoot out again next Spring when you cut it right down to new buds at the bottom. Then repot and away it will go.
If you want to keep the last few flowers just take off all the grotty leaves For now.
Thank you. I have was concerned I might lose them
