The Spiderweb variety: the spiderweb that becomes art:
The Spiderweb variety of Fatsia japonica is an outstanding selection that has transformed an already beautiful plant into a botanical masterpiece. The name Spiderweb describes the unique pattern of its leaves perfectly: the light, almost white veins radiate from the central midrib toward the edges of the deeply lobed leaves, creating a design that exactly resembles the geometric structure of a spiderweb. Against an intense, glossy dark green background, this pattern creates a color contrast of extraordinary elegance and refinement. Each leaf is a unique and unrepeatable work of natural art.
Large leaves, impressive presence:
The leaves of the Aralia Spiderweb are among the largest in the world of indoor plants: they can reach 30-40 cm in diameter, with their deep lobes creating a silhouette of great complexity and movement. At 80 cm tall with a 30 cm pot, this plant has a dramatic presence that rivals that of much larger plants. The sturdy, woody stem, which develops over time, adds even more character and structure to the overall plant.
Aralia Spiderweb vs other foliage plants:

- vs Ficus lyrata - a more airy and complex silhouette, with larger and more deeply lobed leaves
- vs Schefflera - much larger leaves with an exclusive spiderweb-like vein pattern
- Cold resistance - Fatsia japonica is one of the few indoor plants that tolerates very low temperatures, down to -5°C/-10°C outdoors
A plant for every season:
The Aralia Spiderweb is evergreen and keeps its large, striking leaves all year round. In autumn and winter, when many plants lose their leaves or slow their growth, the Aralia Spiderweb continues to be a highly impactful decorative element. In spring and summer, given the right conditions, it may produce spherical white inflorescences with considerable decorative appeal.
Care and placement:
Position: Bright indirect light or partial shade. The Aralia Spiderweb is one of the few large indoor plants that tolerates low light well, making it ideal even for areas farther inside the home. Avoid intense direct sunlight, which can fade the light veins and scorch the leaves. In summer, it can be moved outdoors to a shaded or partially shaded position.
Watering: Moderate and regular. Allow the first 3-4 cm of substrate to dry out between waterings. Fatsia japonica is more tolerant of drought than excess water. Reduce watering significantly in winter. Avoid waterlogging.
Temperature: Ideally between 10°C and 22°C. Fatsia japonica is one of the most cold-resistant indoor plants: it tolerates temperatures down to -5°C/-10°C outdoors, making it suitable for terraces and gardens in temperate climates. It prefers cool environments to excessive heat.
Humidity: It tolerates normal household humidity well. Mist the leaves occasionally to keep them glossy and remove dust that can clog the leaf pores.
Fertilization: Fertilize every 3-4 weeks during the growing season (spring-summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer for foliage plants.
Leaf cleaning: The large leaves of the Aralia Spiderweb tend to collect dust. Clean them regularly with a damp cloth to keep them glossy and fully showcase the spiderweb pattern of the light veins.

Fun facts:
Fatsia japonica is native to the coastal forests of southern Japan and South Korea, where it grows as an evergreen shrub in shady, humid areas. The name Fatsia derives from the Japanese word hachi (eight), referring to the eight lobes of the leaves. In Japan, Fatsia is considered a lucky plant and is often planted near homes to ward off evil spirits. The Spiderweb variety is a modern selection that has revolutionized the aesthetic of this traditional plant, transforming it into an icon of contemporary botanical design. In Europe, Fatsia japonica has been cultivated as an ornamental plant for more than 150 years.
