Know before you buy
The 'Spider's Web' variegation is dynamic and can evolve as the plant matures. You may notice the white webbing patterns shift or spread across the leaves over time, which is a natural characteristic of this cultivar.
While it is adaptable to lower light conditions, this Fatsia performs best in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help maintain the vibrancy of its unique foliage.
Check the soil moisture regularly and water only when the top inch of the potting mix feels dry to the touch. It is important to avoid overwatering, as the roots prefer consistent moisture without being waterlogged.
When kept as a houseplant, the Japanese Aralia 'Spider's Web' typically reaches a mature height of about 24 inches. Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for tabletops or decorative floor stands.
The plant ships in a 10-inch nursery pot and is already generously sized to help it settle into your home environment more easily. It is ready to be placed in your preferred decorative container upon arrival.
