    I am up for a challenge Brumbull image I have some fuchsia cuttings on the windowsill - Beacon Rosa- that I haven't pinched out yet .I know it won't be two different fuchsias but I will have a go at doing the twisted stem thing image

    It will be interesting to find out image My cuttings are about 4" tall and in a module tray - - I will shake of as much compost as I can and pot them int o a 3" pot - we will see what happens image

    Brumbull - I do hope you don't think I have hijacked your challenge -sorry .It just appealed to me knowing I had some fuchsias I could practice on. I am sure- after seeing your beautiful fuchsias- that you will be far more successful than me image

    Kath - I have never tried to do it before image All I did was to gently wind 2 of my newly rooted cuttings together and pot them up. I will put a stick in soon to tie the fuchsia to as it grows and just keep gently winding the stems together.Just an experiment really image
