Planting Your Variegated Japanese Aralia
Begin by selecting a location that receives partial shade. Prepare the planting area by ensuring the soil is well-draining and rich in organic matter. Gently remove the plant from its pot and tease out the roots if tightly bound.
Initial Care
Water the Fatsia Japonica variegata immediately after planting to settle the soil around the roots and remove any air pockets. For the first few weeks, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Long-Term Care
To maintain the health and variegation of the leaves, fertilize your plant every two months with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Prune in early spring to remove any old or damaged leaves and promote new growth.
