Fatsia 'Spider's Web'

Fatsia Spider's Web is one of the most dramatic and underrated houseplants available. Its large, deeply lobed leaves are a rich medium green dusted with irregular creamy white variegation that looks like frost or spun silk across the surface — hence the name. It grows boldly, tolerates shade better than almost any variegated plant, and makes an immediate statement in any room.

Good for beginners? Yes. Fatsia is hardy, adaptable, and much easier to care for than its exotic appearance suggests. It thrives in conditions where other plants struggle, particularly lower light.

Safe for cats and dogs? Fatsia japonica is considered mildly toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.

Light needs: One of the best plants for lower light and shaded rooms. It tolerates medium to low indirect light better than most variegated plants. Brighter indirect light enhances the white markings but avoid direct sun.

Care at a glance: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. It prefers slightly cooler indoor temperatures. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Wipe the large leaves occasionally to keep them clean and allow the variegation to shine.
