Hello!
I bought very beautiful Fuchsia in a hanging basket last year, it was doing great. Then in the late autumn I trimmed it (pruned it), kept inside, watered it and so on. This May I put it outside again. It started to produce new leafs and there were some flowers, but the stems did not grow long like it was when I bought it, there are just some tiny stems with small leafs and very little flowers. The first flowers have almost gone and there aren't many new. I read that I could pinch it, but there isn't really a lot for pinching.
I also think one of my mistakes may be that I did move it to a new bigger pot, but I am worried that now is not the right time to do it. Please see the uploaded images.
I will be very thankful if someone could give me advice what to do with my Fuchsia.

Hi Martina
In this moment, as you said, i would not prune it, above all if there are already flowers
but you should mix it with a specific one because Fuchsia prefer an acidic terrain.
Make you attention because it has to be always damp but not wet. Check always
that there isn't a stagnation of water in the under basket . Fuchsia is a plant that to prefer to stay out side ma it is afraid of direct exposure to the sun.
These are the advices that with me have recently worked, saving my plants
Sorry for my elementary English. I hope i have helped you and i hope expecially you understood me
Good lucky Martina
