About soil condition, Fatsia japonica flowers prefer humus-rich, well-drained soils, but they are also tolerant of poor soils and heavy clay soils. They cannot tolerate dry soils. They can be found growing in both sun and shade, but they prefer partial shade.
Like the other flowers, fatsia japonica flowers need sunlight to grow and thrive. They should be planted in an area of the garden that receives full sun for at least six hours a day. If you live in a climate with very hot summers, it's best to plant them in a spot that gets some afternoon shade.
The temperature condition that is best for fatsia japonica flowers is a cool, moist environment. The soil should be kept moist, but not soggy. A cool location will help to keep the leaves from wilting.
Ideal humidity condition for this plant is 50-70%. If the humidity drops below 50%, the leaves may start to turn brown and curl up. If the humidity goes above 70%, the leaves may start to turn yellow and drop off.
Mentioning fertilizer, this family of plant does best with an organic fertilizer, something with a low nitrogen content. When you're ready to plant, find a spot for your Fatsia that has well-draining soil and is in part to full sun. Fatsia also doesn't mind a little bit of shade, especially during the hottest part of the day. Amend the soil with some compost or other organic matter before planting. Fatsia does best when its roots are allowed to spread, so be generous with the planting hole. Water the plant well after planting and keep the soil moist but not soggy until it becomes established.
Pruning fatsia japonica flowers is essential to keeping the plant healthy and looking its best. Flowers that are spent or damaged should be cut away, as well as any stems that are crowding or rubbing against other stems. This will promote air circulation and prevent fungal diseases.
Propagation is fairly easy, either from seed or stem cuttings. Sow seed in early spring in a cold frame or under cover. Stem cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer. The plants can also be easily divided in early spring.
Usually, the plant growth rate at a medium to fast speed when they are young. However, the growth rate will eventually slow down as the plant matures. The size of a mature fatsia japonica flower can range from 3 to 10 feet tall and wide.
Common problems for this kind of plant are that the leaves may yellow and the plant may become sparse. Also, the plant may be susceptible to stem and root rot, as well as to aphids, scale, and other pests.
