About this plant
Fatsia Japonica Variegata suits indoor spots with bright, indirect light, tolerates medium light. Listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses.
Likes bright, indirect light in a cool room, copes with medium light, and has glossy lobed leaves edged cream.
Fatsia japonica 'Variegata' is a variegated form of the Japanese aralia, an evergreen shrub from Japan and South Korea. Its large, glossy, hand-shaped leaves have irregular creamy white margins and patches, giving a lighter, softer look than the plain green form.
In Dubai it is an indoor plant only. Like the green form, it prefers mild temperatures and does not survive the outdoor summer here, but it is comfortable in air-conditioned rooms. It tolerates medium light, though the cream variegation stays brightest in bright, indirect light. The pale leaf edges scorch easily in direct sun, and dry air near AC vents can brown them. Keep the soil lightly moist, never soggy.
It works in cool living rooms, bedrooms, office receptions and hallways with some daylight. We offer it at about 20–30 cm, in a nursery pot or a ceramic pot, as a tabletop plant.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Fatsia Japonica Variegata healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 5–7 days indoors, when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry; less in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: rich, well-draining potting mix. Feeding: diluted balanced liquid feed monthly from March to October. Common mistake: putting it in direct sun, which burns the cream leaf edges. Where it works: cool living rooms, bedrooms, office receptions and hallways.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
