Fatsia Japonica
Native to Japan, southern Korea and Taiwan, Fatsia Japonica is a species of flowering plant in the Araliaceae family. It's an evergreen shrub and grows white flowers in autumn, followed by small black fruit in spring. The paper plant has eight leaf lobes, which is where it gets it's name 'fatsia' from, the Japanese word meaning 'eight'.
Despite occasionally being called the 'Castor Oil Plant', the Fatsia Japonica has no relation to the vegetable oil whatsoever. Confusing? We agree!
You'd be forgiven for thinking this tropical-looking plant is high maintenance, but in reality, the paper plant is as easy-going as they come. Place wherever you like as it will handle most conditions, but to see it thrive, show it the best of both worlds, with an equal mix of sun and shade - just avoid direct sunlight.
Decorative pot not included.

The plant is great and arrived beautifully packaged and looks very heathy. It seems to be doing well and is nice and sturdy.
Well presented and arrived happy!
Repoted and placed in a nice pot.
Waiting got it to grow and add beauty to my conservatory
The Fatsia is a really good plant, a great shape with lots of new leaves and vigorous growth, however I thought it had a little dust on it, now I realise it is powdery mildew. I have no mildew in the garden or the other plants I received from you. I’ve been told that as the plant is vigorous it doesn’t need any treatment, but if the mildew returns I will use organic means to deal with it. It is in a good light and hasn’t been overwatered.
As a complete newbie to houseplants, I ordered a Fatsia Japonica because I loved the foliage, it being safe for pets and relatively easy to care for. A very quick delivery and the plant is gorgeous. A great price and very good service.
We have recently bought a Fatsia Japonica (now nicknamed Midori) to add to our office's plant family!
The delivery was swift and the plant came in great condition.
Can't wait to see how the Japonica will grow. One of my colleagues has one in their garden and they love it.
Midori looks right at home in his meeting room spot! :)
