Description
Fatsia japonica, commonly known as Japanese Aralia, is a lush, evergreen plant with large, glossy, deep green leaves that bring a tropical feel to your indoor or shaded outdoor spaces. Its architectural foliage and ability to thrive in low-light conditions make it a favourite for creating lush corners indoors or under tree canopies outdoors. During Djilba to Birak (early spring to early summer), small clusters of creamy white flowers may emerge, adding a subtle charm to this hardy plant.
Best suited for pots, indoor settings, or shaded garden beds, Fatsia japonica thrives in well-draining, rich soil with consistent moisture. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings and fertilise with a balanced slow-release fertiliser in early spring for vibrant growth. Regularly wipe leaves clean to keep them glossy and pest-free.
