Fatsia ‘Japanese Aralia’

This plant prefers shade or dappled light. 

Fatsia plants need their soil to be consistently moist but not waterlogged, so you should water them when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. 

 

Spring/ Summer:
Water deeply if planted or in a pot— if potted, water until it begins to drain from the pot, then discard any excess water from the saucer. 

 

Fall/ Winter:
Reduce watering in the Fall and Winter when growth slows, and ensure the plant is in well-draining soil to prevent root rot. 

Fatsia likes slightly acidic, nutrient-rich soil—we suggest Espoma Soil Acidifier.

 

Proper nutrition is important to the health of your plant and its longevity. To ensure your plant is getting the appropriate nutrition, use a fertilizer labelled for that plant and apply according to the label.
