Japanese Fatsia
The Japanese Fatsia (Fatsia japonica) is a striking evergreen shrub native to Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Known for its large, glossy, palmate leaves that can grow up to 12 inches across, it thrives in shaded to partially sunny spots, making it a favorite for both indoor and outdoor gardens in temperate climates. The plant is remarkably resilient, tolerating a range of soil conditions and temperatures down to around 20°! Its special appeal lies in its dramatic foliage, making it a bold statement plant in landscaping, and its ability to grow in low light, offering unique texture and structure to shaded areas. Fatsia is also known for its small, creamy white flowers that bloom in late fall, followed by black berries, adding further interest to its visual appeal.
-
LightPlace the plant in a bright location with filtered or indirect light, such as a window. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves and cause them to curl and develop brown patches. Lower light conditions can also make the plant look pale and elongated.
-
HumidityDry air can cause the leaves to feel crinkly, so increase humidity by misting the plant daily or placing it on a tray of pebbles with water in the saucer.
-
WaterWater the plant when the top half of the soil is dry, but before it dries out completely. Water thoroughly until liquid flows out of the bottom of the pot's drainage hole, then discard any water in the saucer. Fatsia plants use a lot of water, so you might need to water them frequently, especially in the spring and summer. Don't let the plant wilt, but it can tolerate some wilting.
-
SoilUse a light, airy potting mix that holds moisture well. Heavy soil can be difficult to move and judge for dryness.
-
TemperatureFatsia plants prefer average room temperatures of 60–75°F (18°C). They don't like extreme temperatures, so if it gets above 30°F, you might want to move the plant to a shadier spot.
-
FertilizerFatsia plants are heavy feeders, so you can fertilize them regularly with liquid feed.

from 47 reviewsThis was my first time ordering a plant online, and I would definitely do it again!
I had to wait until today to offer my review because my shipment didn’t come until today. The plants(3) were well secure in the shipping box. Great idea to tape all the plants to the box so they won’t shift. The plants themselves were well wrapped for their safety. The plants arrived in good shape.
Such a healthy, robust specimen. The color is gorgeous, a peach with pink and orange hues! The owner is a delight.
My new Money Tree was delivered in perfect condition! Very grateful for all the advice. Thank you, Melanie!
This is my favorite place to shop for my plants! I absolutely love the ease of ordering and delivery.
My plants are incredibly healthy! The owner is a delightful person and goes above and beyond for their customers.
The palm is a great addition to my collection. So grateful that Melanie has pet-friendly options. I have a new and very curious kitty! Love the delivery service too!
Customer service and knowledgeability of the plants is 10/10
Very beautiful plant. This plant exceeded my expectations. It is a bit larger than I anticipated. That is a very positive thing. Came to me very well cared for. I was pleased with my purchase.
Alocasia Polly is striking and soft at the same time. I will enjoy her for years to come
I was leery of shipping this plant, however it arrived in perfect condition, travelling from Michigan to California, and was even blooming when it arrived! I am so pleased with this as it was a gift for my niece. I will happily ship a plant from The Rooted Plant Shop again!
