This was hit so badly in winter that it was reduced to 2 leaves. Didn’t think it would recover but it’s back with a vengeance 😍🕷️🕸️ #fatsia #japanese-aralia #fatsia-japonica #fatsia-spiders-web #foliagefriday

Oh same as mine Kerry, amazingly it survived 💚

It’s lovely 🤗

So happy it survived. Looks awesome 💚

Great news!

@emch @godfreye @hkyfvr @italydiva thanks all ☺️ the new growth seems to have the most interesting leaves so guess I’m lucky it has had to grow so much 😂

@juliesgarden glad yours has recovered too 🙏🏻 they grow so fast don’t they! 🏃🏻‍♀️

Can’t believe how well it’s doing now Kerry 👍🏻

Beautiful, wonderful foliage 💚💚💚💚

@midnightgardener it’s such a great looking plant, leaves especially. It flowers too and they’re a nice added extra 😊

Apologies for not replying to comments on previous posts yet. Am still fighting off a 6 week flu-type bug and have little energy most days. I do hope to be back properly very soon 💚 #fatsia #japanese-aralia #fatsia-japonica #fatsia-spiders-web

I hope you beat it soon.

Oh my goodness! Do take care of yourself Kerry!💘😍

Sorry to hear you’re not well, hope you’re 💯% very soon Kerry ❤️‍🩹

Get well soon Kerry ....sending love and hugs 🙏❤🫂

Aww, that sounds nasty. I hope you are back to full strength very soon 🥰

Aww get well soon Kerry, awful when bugs linger , I’ve had a rotten cough for 2 weeks, take it easy , we’ll all be here when you’re well 😘😘

Take care and hope you feel better soon 💐

Take it steady and hope you will be tip top soon 💐

Take care & I hope you get well soon! 😘💐

Hope you feel better soon 🤗 I’m still struggling with the after effects of covid

So sorry to hear that you have not been well Kerry. Was worried about you. Hope you feel better very soon. Go easy on yourself and take time to heal. Love and hugs ♥️

Dwarfing the huge pot it’s in 😜 #fatsia #japanese-aralia #fatsia-japonica #fatsia-spiders-web #foliagefriday

Love the leaf shape. So pretty. 💚🤍💚

@gjones @hkyfvr thank you both ☺️ it’s such an interesting one 💚

Always welcome. It is lovely 💚🤍💚

They get to a good size your going to need a much bigger pot than that 😆

@alan1111 think you’re right! Only a year ago it was a few tiny leaves 🙈 believe it or not, the pot it’s in is huge! Holds 100l of compost 😂

Finding a pot big enough is going to hurt the pocket or you could put it in the ground it'll look after itself

@alan1111 it might have to stay stunted in a smaller pot 😜 I don’t have room for all these expanding plants 😆

If you think that's the worst of it your in for a shock Kerry your garden is only getting started 😜

@alan1111 🤣 it’ll be a jungle 🙈

Just what you wanted, isn't it!? 😂

@alan1111 one that looked after itself would be ideal! 🤣

Love the shape of the leaves. Just beautiful 💚💚

Does it stay outside all year?

@hkyfvr thank you Diane 😃 really loves up to its name! The pattern is so intricate up close 😍

@heatherdirtyhands it’ll be the first winter I have it but it’ll be staying outdoors. It’s supposedly frost hardy but is in a sheltered position just in case 💚

Always welcome Kerry. 💚💚

What zone do u live in? Like where? Hopefully it'll do well for u its so beautiful

@heatherdirtyhands I live in quite a mild part of England, over on the east coast. Doesn’t usually get too cold here. It’s apparently equivalent to your zone 8

Oh ok that's cool. I thought u were from the U.S. cool to have a plant friend from England

@heatherdirtyhands I wouldn’t mind being from a warm state 😂

Me too

Love the shape of the leaves. Nice veining also 👍😊💚

@hkyfvr aren’t they wonderful 🤩 it’s starting to get very big but the leaves are all so decorative 😍

They are just beautiful. I have always had a thing for lovely foliage. 💚💚

@hkyfvr I must admit I never bothered about foliage until I discovered this app. Shelley & Katy made me love leaves 😂

I think I have always loved leaves. Even as a child I would collect and preserve them. I forgot about them for years then this app reawakened my love of foliage. I notice it so much more now. I love my houseplants for their great foliage too. 💚💚💚

@hkyfvr amazing you have recaptured something you loved in the past ☺️ this app inspires so much!

Thanks Kerry. This app definitely has inspired me in so many ways. So happy I heard about it from a gardener on a TV show. 👍😊

@hkyfvr I can’t believe it was mentioned on a tv show 😮 that’s brilliant exposure for an app. And we are all glad you discovered it 😁

Thanks so much Kerry. There is a garden guru on a breakfast show whose family owns a local greenhouse here. They call him Frankie Flowers. He mentioned a few garden apps and this was one of them. Luckily for me I wrote it down. 👍😊

@hkyfvr we all owe Frankie Flowers a thank you 😛☺️

Thanks so much Kerry. You are so kind. I sure am glad Frank mentioned garden tags. 👍😊🥰

Is this the same plant in the spring?

@heatherdirtyhands this was when I bought it. Was absolutely tiny 😜 shocked at how much it’s grown in under 6 months 😯
