Yes, I had one, several years ago, but it did not like the full western exposure and it did not like to be indoors, insects swamped it. Very prone to bugs if kept indoors.
Likes to have free flowing air around it, thats why other fuchsia that are hanging basket types do well. On the net we see that Fuchsias do comparatively very well in southern california and not in florida, ie it likes dry warm sunny areas but not wet/humid. SO I guess it would not do well in NE india including Bengal. My loss. Be well. usha di On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 5:45 PM, R Thilakan <[email protected]> wrote: > Madam ;I knew it is Fuchsia even if the nursery man didn’t know .His > product name was ’Chinese lantern’ for this.
