Standard Fuchsia

Hi All, I would like some Help and Advice,  Some weeks ago my standard fuchsia looked dead so i brought it into my utility room, i cut it back and crossed my fingers.  To my surprise  it started to grow again and now there are quite a number of buds appearing. I am really unsure what to do next.  As you can tell i have a lot to learn.

    If you want it to grow bigger, then pick them off, but if its ok as it is with you then leave it.

    I pick off any buds that form now to allow the plant to grow bigger, but maybe thats just me!

    Hi Lyn, Thanks for your reply, I will take the buds off to encourage bushier growth,  could you tell me when it will be safe to put the Fuchsia outside, Thanks again.
