The Fatsia Japonica or Japanese Aralia is a spreading plant with beautifully large, palmately lobed, mid-green leaves with a glossy sheen and leathery texture. Small, loose, spherical umbels of cream-white flowers appear all throughout the foliage in mid to late Summer and into the beginnings of Autumn followed by small, black fruits.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Fatsia thrives in shade or partial shade with consistent moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
How to Water
Water Fatsia regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially in dry periods. Avoid overwatering, as they don’t tolerate soggy roots. Ensure proper drainage and adjust watering based on the weather, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
How to Plant
Plant Fatsia in well-draining, moist soil in a location with partial to full shade. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill it with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base to retain moisture.
