How to fertilize Fatsia Plant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Fatsia Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Sad Fatsia Spiderweb. Suggestions? Hej I don’t know what’s up with my Fatsia. I have had it for a year now, and in the past week it has lost its “energy” Leaves are downward and it has lost 7-10 leaves, which is the first time it has lost any. I moved it from the hallway where it was fairly low light, to the living room where there is more light, but it’s winter here, so not that much sun. I watered it with fertilizer 4 days ago but it hasn’t helped. Ideas?

Such a beauty I found! Fatsia. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #fatsiaplant

I’ve almost killed this last three times and I’m never sure what it is I do to make it die. I have to cut all the leaves off and let it sprout again and she never lets me down, she always comes back fighting.

When I first bought this plant he was dying and on his way out. However, after I repotted him and popped him at the window he loved it!!! Happy lush plant now, easy to care for!

I named mine 4/20 because of how it’s shaped, it’s great and quick, I haven’t had any trouble growing it so far so. The leaves haven’t even browned and I forget to water sometimes

I’m always spotting new leaves on this plant and it is always really healthy looking. It’s a fairly thirsty plant so it can be a little wilty but once it’s had a drink it always bounces right back.
