Fatsia japonica 'Spider's Web'

Apologies for not replying to comments on previous posts yet. Am still fighting off a 6 week flu-type bug and have little energy most days. I do hope to be back properly very soon 💚 #fatsia #japanese-aralia #fatsia-japonica #fatsia-spiders-web

Dwarfing the huge pot it’s in 😜 #fatsia #japanese-aralia #fatsia-japonica #fatsia-spiders-web #foliagefriday

Beautiful huge leaves!

Love the leaf shape. So pretty. 💚🤍💚

@gjones @hkyfvr thank you both ☺️ it’s such an interesting one 💚

Always welcome. It is lovely 💚🤍💚

They get to a good size your going to need a much bigger pot than that 😆

@alan1111 think you’re right! Only a year ago it was a few tiny leaves 🙈 believe it or not, the pot it’s in is huge! Holds 100l of compost 😂

Finding a pot big enough is going to hurt the pocket or you could put it in the ground it'll look after itself

@alan1111 it might have to stay stunted in a smaller pot 😜 I don’t have room for all these expanding plants 😆

If you think that's the worst of it your in for a shock Kerry your garden is only getting started 😜

@alan1111 🤣 it’ll be a jungle 🙈

Just what you wanted, isn't it!? 😂

Love the shape of the leaves. Just beautiful 💚💚

Does it stay outside all year?

@hkyfvr thank you Diane 😃 really loves up to its name! The pattern is so intricate up close 😍

@heatherdirtyhands it’ll be the first winter I have it but it’ll be staying outdoors. It’s supposedly frost hardy but is in a sheltered position just in case 💚

Always welcome Kerry. 💚💚

What zone do u live in? Like where? Hopefully it'll do well for u its so beautiful

@heatherdirtyhands I live in quite a mild part of England, over on the east coast. Doesn’t usually get too cold here. It’s apparently equivalent to your zone 8

Oh ok that's cool. I thought u were from the U.S. cool to have a plant friend from England

@heatherdirtyhands I wouldn’t mind being from a warm state 😂

Me too

Love the shape of the leaves. Nice veining also 👍😊💚

@hkyfvr aren’t they wonderful 🤩 it’s starting to get very big but the leaves are all so decorative 😍

They are just beautiful. I have always had a thing for lovely foliage. 💚💚

@hkyfvr I must admit I never bothered about foliage until I discovered this app. Shelley & Katy made me love leaves 😂

I think I have always loved leaves. Even as a child I would collect and preserve them. I forgot about them for years then this app reawakened my love of foliage. I notice it so much more now. I love my houseplants for their great foliage too. 💚💚💚

@hkyfvr amazing you have recaptured something you loved in the past ☺️ this app inspires so much!

Thanks Kerry. This app definitely has inspired me in so many ways. So happy I heard about it from a gardener on a TV show. 👍😊

@hkyfvr I can’t believe it was mentioned on a tv show 😮 that’s brilliant exposure for an app. And we are all glad you discovered it 😁

Thanks so much Kerry. There is a garden guru on a breakfast show whose family owns a local greenhouse here. They call him Frankie Flowers. He mentioned a few garden apps and this was one of them. Luckily for me I wrote it down. 👍😊

@hkyfvr we all owe Frankie Flowers a thank you 😛☺️

Thanks so much Kerry. You are so kind. I sure am glad Frank mentioned garden tags. 👍😊🥰

Is this the same plant in the spring?

@heatherdirtyhands this was when I bought it. Was absolutely tiny 😜 shocked at how much it’s grown in under 6 months 😯
