Outside Fuchsias Doing Fine - No Botrytis

This young fuchsia, taken from a cutting in early summer, has never looked better, despite being potted in garden soil and despite the frost and torrential rains. I have only recently put it beneath the hedge to give it a bit of shelter. Even though there are dead leaves on the soil surface, there is no sign of any disease whatsoever.

It obviously requires more than merely cold wet conditions to induce botrytis. Still and humid air seem the key factors..

It is recommended to keep windows wide open to keep air moving. Starting to feel colder already.
