Fatsia
(Japanese Aralia)

Fatsia japonica

Size  
  At A Glance 3 Gallon  
Height / Width: 4' - 6' / 3' - 6'    
Bloom Time: Fall    
Soil Type: Loam; Well-drained; Acid; Neutral; Alkaline    
Light: Partial Shade - Shade    
Notes: Although tough and leathery in appearance, the leaves of Fatsia cannot tolerate sunny locations. It can tolerate some filtered light but too much sun can burn the leaves and prolonged exposure will eventually kill the plant.

As stems become tall and lanky, prune back to increase growth and leaf production on the bottom of the plant. Fatsia will grow in any soil that doesn't become soggy. It also makes a nice house plant in a brightly lit area.
