The Fatsia Japonica thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. A spot near a window with sheer curtains would be perfect to filter the light.
💧 Water

Water your Japanese aralia when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry to the touch. Let water soak through, then allow the pot to drain completely. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.
