What is wrong with my Fuschia

[Ladytanya]

Hi. I’m new to this group. I live in the Great Southern of Western Australia and have taken a keen interest in gardening in the last couple of years.
First question is about a Fuschia I planted in a pot about 6 months ago. At first it grew like crazy and had lots of beautiful flowers and healthy growth. Now it is withering away, the leaves are curling up and have spots and holes!! Photos attached!! Any ideas on what to do with it???

G'day @Ladytanya and welcome to the forum. This one looks like a hardy bush fuchsia to me. I would find a nice shady place for it and plant it in the ground if it were mine. It might also benefit from cutting back too. These plants like lots of water and plenty of shade. They also appreciate some feed during the growing season - I reckon you are just going into winter there (a bit like UK summer) so there might not be lots of new growth right away.
If you cut the plant back, you could stick all the bits in the ground as well, and give them a drink - they root very easily.

I agree with tetters, I think she would do better outside. You may want to wait until winter for your pruning if its not needed right away.

Greetings, welcome to the Forums.

It appears that your Fuchsia has some type of pest issue.The first step is to positively identify the pest. If you have yet to see any insects or other animals eating your plant, try visiting the plant after dark with a flashlight. Some insects only deed under the cover of darkness.
Of course there may be cultural care problems as well. Tell us more about the plant's light, water, drainage, and fertilizing.
