Fatsia Japonica

The Fatsia Japonica — often called the Castor Oil Plant — is one of the most architectural plants you can grow, indoors or out. Its enormous glossy, hand-shaped leaves fan out to create instant structure and a lush, established feel. This is the plant at genuine specimen size: a full 140–160cm, the scale that takes years to grow and that most retailers simply don't stock. Where most Fatsia sold in the UK is a small nursery plant, this is the finished article — grown to fill a corner, soften a hallway, or bring evergreen structure to a shaded courtyard or terrace. Best space & place Remarkably versatile. It thrives in shade to bright indirect light — one of the very few statement plants genuinely happy in a north-facing room or a shaded outdoor spot. Indoors it brings glossy, tropical structure; outdoors it's fully hardy and evergreen, holding its form through the British winter. Watering & feeding Fatsia likes to stay evenly moist — more thirsty than most architectural plants. If it dries out it will drop its leaves theatrically, then bounce back once watered. Feed monthly in spring and summer for the largest, glossiest foliage. Pollutant Absorption Credentials Fatsia Japonica is a broad-leaved evergreen that helps filter indoor air, and its large leaf area makes it an efficient natural humidifier — releasing moisture that benefits both the room and the plants around it.
