Fuchsia splendens is a few to many-branched, soft-wooded shrub or small tree that can grow up to 6 metres tall, but is usually much lower. Moist or wet forest, often in loose sand, sometimes in high pine forest, often growing on cliffs and very frequently epiphytic on the moss-covered branches of trees
