I got a potted fuschia from a reliable source and hung it on the back porch.* After a couple of weeks it stopped producing floweres, and the leaves are looking faded and yellowish.* I'm in Philadelphia, where it's been hotter than average recently.* Any thoughts, advice, sage observations?* Thanks!

Hi Meann,
Generally when potted plants stop blooming they are either resting or rootbound.* When their leaves turn yellow it too can mean the plant is rootbound.* Check to see if you see roots through the drainage holes or gently remove the plant from the pot.* It may need a new pot 2" larger.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
