Fatsia japonica

Fatsia japonica

Fatsia japonica is an evergreen shrub native to southern Japan, Korea, and the Ryukyu Archipelago.

Indoors, it grows 1 to 1.5 meters tall, and in the wild, it can reach up to 4-5 meters.

The leaves are large, shiny, and dark green.

The flowers are inconspicuous, creamy white or greenish, gathered in spherical umbels, but they appear extremely rarely in indoor conditions and in the Polish climate.

Fatsia japonica grows best in fertile, humus-rich, and well-drained soil with a neutral or slightly acidic pH (pH 5.5-6.5).

It prefers a sunny or partially shaded location, but out of direct sunlight.
