Fatsia

The Fatsia can be used both as a house plant and as a garden plant. This plant is low-maintenance: a cool, bright area without direct rays of sunshine will do for years of enjoyment. Therefore, this plant will also thrive in a pot on the terrace, in the shade. Regular watering is advisable. Mild winters are no problem. Young leaves may get damaged somewhat during harsher frost. If you keep the plant inside during winter, then slowly allow it to adjust to the sun in spring. You can also protect the plant with a reed mat during harsh winters. Regular fertilization of these plants will sustain beautiful, shiny leaves.
