Fatsia japonica
This standard Fatsia japonica is an evergreen perennial. The glossy, deeply lobed, palmate leaves make this subtropical foliage plant highly decorative. Fatsia japonica is native to subtropical parts of Japan and Korea, where it grows in coastal forests. Fatsia japonica is easy to cultivate and grows relatively quickly. It can reach a considerable size, but as a houseplant, it is easy to maintain an attractive shape through regular pruning. Because Fatsia japonica is quite hardy, it can also be used as a shade-loving garden plant and container plant. Fatsia japonica is also known as the Finger Plant. Other internationally used names for Fatsia japonica include: Japanese Aralia; Aralia; Aralia du Japon; Zimmeraralie; Japanese finger plant; Castor oil plant; Fatsi; Fig-leaf palm; Glossy-leaved paper plant; Big-leaf paper plant; Formosa rice tree; Paper plant; Aralia sieboldii.
