My first time with a Fuschia, I have several. I think they're gorgeous.
I am concerned about the largest one. I think it either needs a new/larger pot or do I trim it back?
I'd also like to propagate some - can I just trim off some pieces and put them in rooting compound and let them grow roots? Then put in soil?
I broke some pieces off accidentally when I first got the plant a few months ago and was successful in rooting them and planting in soil.. Just not sure if I can do that now without hurting the plant. I want to trim it back a bit or move to larger pot.

What should i do?
