F. decidua is a rare, often epiphytically living fuchsia from Mexico. This name was given by Paul Standley in 1929. This plant has only recently been rediscovered in Mexico. Epiphytic means: living on trees or branches, but not parasitic. The plant has thick fleshy (rhizome with tubers) roots. In the dry season, this plant loses all its leaves for a few months, the plant is therefore deciduous, hence the name “decidua”. After the dry period, when it starts to rain again, the flowers appear on the bare wood, before the leaves appear. F. decidua flowers with clusters of pink-red flowers at the ends of the bare young side shoots. After flowering, it starts to sprout with beautifully colored leaves, which turn green again later in the season. It requires a lot of sun, a very airy soil and not too much water.
