Fatsia japonica
This standard Fatsia japonica is an evergreen perennial shrub. The glossy deeply lobed, palmate leaves, make this subtropical foliage plant very 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 relatively fast growing. It can reach great volume, yet as a houseplant it’s simple to keep the growth under control and the shape attractive by regular pruning. As it is quite hardy, Fatsia japonica can be used as shade-loving garden plants and container plants as well. Fatsia japonica is commonly known as Japanese Aralia. Other internationally used common names for Fatsia japonica are: Aralia; Aralia du Japon; Zimmeraralie, Japanse vingerplant; Castor oil plant; Fatsi; Fig-leaf palm; Glossy-leaved paper plant; large leaf paper plant; Formosa rice tree; Paper plant; Aralia sieboldii.
