I was curious about the rot problem mentioned, did a little research, not conclusive... was reminded that fuchsias are native to the Caribbean, remembered that in hanging baskets the trick is to keep them from drying. In L.A. summer heat I watered them twice a day. But in hanging baskets the soil is light and has good ventilation, so that may be why I think of them as liking wet feet.
