Fatsia, also known as Japanese Aralia, is a striking evergreen shrub known for its large, glossy, hand-shaped leaves. This plant adds a bold, tropical touch to both indoor and outdoor spaces, making it a versatile choice for any plant enthusiast.
Light Needs: Fatsia prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can cause leaf burn. It thrives well in partially shaded areas, making it suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor settings.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Fatsia consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot, and reduce watering frequency during the winter months.
Humidity Needs: Fatsia appreciates a humid environment, ideally with humidity levels around 50-60%. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing a humidifier nearby, or setting the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water, ensuring the pot is above the water line.
