Fatsia Japonica ‘Spider Web’ — Variegated & Graphic Japanese Aralia
✨ White & Silver Variegation • 🌤️ Soft / Partial Shade Light • 💧 Easy Care • 🌬️ Air Purifying • 🐾 Non Toxic
The Fatsia Japonica ‘Spider Web’, or Variegated Japanese Aralia, is a spectacular and refined tropical indoor plant. Its large dark green foliage, speckled with white and silver, appears covered with a fine frosted powder — a natural effect of rare elegance. Elegant, bright, and easy to maintain, it stands out as a must-have for urban interiors seeking freshness and natural beauty.

Exposure & Location
The Fatsia Japonica ‘Spider Web’ prefers soft to medium light. It tolerates partial shade very well and adapts to most rooms in the house, provided direct sunlight is avoided.
- Light: soft to filtered, avoid direct sun.
- Ideal location: near a north or east-facing window, in a living room, entryway, or bright office.
- Outdoor possible: on a sheltered terrace during the warm season.
- Temperature: between 16 and 25 °C, without cold drafts.
Verdeia Tip: the more generous the light, the clearer and brighter its variegation becomes.
Watering & Care
Easy to live with, the Fatsia Japonica appreciates slightly moist soil, without excess. It prefers regular but moderate watering.
- Watering: when the soil surface is dry; about once a week.
- Winter: space out watering (every 10–12 days).
- Substrate: well-draining potting soil for green plants, slightly moist but never soggy.
- Misting: enjoys a slightly humid atmosphere — mist the foliage once a week.
- Fertilizer: once a month in spring and summer.
Verdeia Advice: absolutely avoid overwatering, as its thick roots fear stagnant moisture.
Decor Ideas & Plant Combinations
The Fatsia Japonica ‘Spider Web’ is an ambiance plant: its presence visually sculpts the space. Its cut and variegated foliage attracts light and evokes the softness of a modern tropical garden.
- In a clear planter cover or black one, it enhances modern and minimalist interiors.
- Placed in a living room or an entryway, it brings freshness and graphic elegance.
- In composition with a Philodendron Imperial Green or a Clusia ‘Princess’, it creates a balanced jungle effect.
Verdeia Tip: pair your Fatsia with natural textures — wood, stone, rattan, or ceramic — to highlight its silver-marble foliage.
Verdeia Tips
- Give it soft light: too much direct sun dulls its variegated foliage.
- Regularly wipe its large leaves: dust dulls its silver tones.
- Rotate the pot monthly: for even and balanced growth.
- Mist the foliage: this enhances its tropical freshness and prevents dry edges.
- Enjoy its versatility: it can live both indoors and outdoors in sheltered summer conditions.
A true tropical gem, the Fatsia Japonica ‘Spider Web’ brightens the space with its silver reflections and elegant silhouette. An ideal plant for a calming and stylish urban jungle.
