Fatsia Japonica | Houseplant

Fatsia Japonica 

The Fatsia japonica is a striking houseplant known for its large, glossy, deeply lobed leaves that create a bold, tropical look. Thriving in bright, indirect light but tolerant of lower light conditions, it prefers well-draining soil and regular watering, allowing the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings. Its lush, architectural foliage makes it an excellent choice for adding greenery and texture to indoor spaces. With its low-maintenance nature and dramatic appearance, Fatsia japonica is a perfect statement plant for homes and offices.

Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Fatsia japonica thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade. A north or east-facing window is ideal. It will tolerate lighter shade but too much light can cause yellowing of the leaves.
  Rotate the plant regularly to ensure all sides receive equal light and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
  
• Watering💧
  Water when the top of the soil feels slightly dry to the touch.
  Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season (spring and summer).
  Allow the plant to dry out a little more between waterings during the winter months.
  Using rainwater or soft water is preferable, as chemicals and salts in hard tap water can cause leaf edging to turn brown.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  
• Humidity💦
  Fatsia japonica is adaptable to average indoor humidity levels.
  It appreciates higher humidity, especially in dry environments.
  To increase your humidity levels you can use a humidifier or you could consider regularly misting your plant if the indoor air is dry.
  You can also place your plant on a tray of pebbles and water to increase the humidity levels.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  They prefer cooler indoor temperatures, ideally between 15-21°C.
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Fertilise monthly during the spring and summer growing season (April to September) and stop fertilising during the winter.
  
• Additional Care➕
  Due to its moderately fast growth, Fatsia japonica often requires annual repotting, especially when young, or when it shows signs of outgrowing its pot, like roots growing out of the drainage holes.
  Remove dead, yellowing, or damaged leaves or stems with clean, sharp tools.
