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. 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 99 reviewsMy plant arrived secured in peanuts, cling wrap at the base, a heat pack in the box also!!! It was cold here in Ohio. It is the perfect bonsai and exact one in the picture. I love it, I’m so happy.

Mel sent the most beautiful Alocasia I have ever seen! Packaged so well and very healthy! Highly recommend!

I ordered the subscription box and was able to pick which plant I wanted for the dollar value of my subscription. Mel helped me find a good plant to help with my air quality in my main living space. She was knowledgeable about the plants’ care and when it arrived the plant did NOT disappoint! It arrived just as gorgeous as it was when I picked it. She shipped it out on Monday and it arrived today, Tuesday. The shipping was crazy fast! The plants were very well packaged with fragile labels on almost every side. There was dirt kicked around in the box, but not as much as I would expect when shipping a pot full of soil. I definitely will recommend 1000 times again! Oh! Also she ships with heat packs! My new babies didn’t have to suffer the cold! ☺️
Had some typical USPS shipping issues and my peperomia arrived missing a few leaves... Mel is amazing and has kept up with me ever since to make sure it recovered! Plant arrived like it was preparing to go to war and has been thriving ever since. Will definitely be ordering again!!
I am super happy with my order and will only buy plants from The Rooted Plant Shop!! My plants are stunning!
The rooted plant shop has been more than amazing! This is my second purchase through the rooted plant shop. Couldn’t be any happier. My first purchase was a boobie cactus and my second is a Verigated Frydek. They included complimentary heat packs so the plant baby’s stayed warm! I would recommend this shop for any needs! The owner is very helpful with questions also!
