I've had this fuscia plant for a couple of months and it was thriving until recently. The branches have become droopy and the leaves are falling off. I have maintained the watering schedule and the plant gets bright indirect light. The plant is in the same pot and soil from the nursery I bought it from.
Please advise on how to get this fella back to good health.

I missed adding this in the body of the post:
There are no visible bugs or other parasites on the plant.
What area are you in? Fuchsias go dormant over the winter. Even if it’s still warm in your area it’s acclimated to your temps and will still follow the normal pattern. It’ll look like sticks, but if you keep it somewhere where it won’t be exposed to less than ~40 degrees it will come back in the spring. I like to put mine in the garage and they come back fine. You’ll also need to cut back on watering during its dormancy. It really depends on so many factors to gauge how much to water — pot size, what material the pot is, soil and how long it retains water, etc. Just let it dry out a little longer than normal before you water, lightly! 🍀
