Japanese Aralia / Plant Spotlight

Hello and welcome to HealthyHouseplants.com, where we teach you all about gardening and the great indoors. If you’d like to support our show, please use our Amazon affiliate link below.

Today, we have another plant spotlight. We are taking a close look at this beautiful plant—the Japanese Aurelia, also known as Japanese Fatsia. It’s a stunning plant with large, lobed, striking variegated leaves. I absolutely love this plant for the indoor garden because it truly makes a statement.

As I often mention, I like to decorate my home with houseplants, and this one is no exception. You can do so much with the shape and color of the leaves. The variegated leaf colors include whites, limes, and even multiple shades on individual leaves. There is just so much going on with this plant visually. In its native outdoor habitat, Japanese Fatsia can grow to eight to ten feet tall. Indoors, it won’t get quite that big, but if it’s happy, it can still grow to a fairly good size.

I will be doing a care video on this plant soon, but for now, this is just a spotlight to showcase its beauty. The plant currently has a lot of small leaves and some bigger ones, and it just loves to grow and look really nice for you. As mentioned, it’s a stunning plant that makes a real visual impact.

There are various varieties of Japanese Fatsia with different variegated leaf tones and colors, though the leaves are generally the same shape and size across the species. This plant is truly a joy to look at every day. It’s definitely something to consider for your indoor garden, especially for a corner space where you want to fill in the area and draw attention. It also works well as a focal point in any room.
