is it classed as a tropical plant ?

i have a small f. japonica shrub and the strong winds today made it look like it had been stood on, its about 60cm tall with four short stems and have all bent downwards so it looks droopy but theres no leaf damage, will it pick up again? i watered it today but that made it look worse

could of sworn I seen a small moth on the leaf too.

Is this a false castor oil plant? and what on earth is going on!

(photobucket is down) ill put pics up as soon as i can.

I bought 2 Fats Japs last year as they very hardy plants, but both of mine looked very damaged this year and looks like new leaves growing from the base only. will this plant develop much into a tree like structure this year? How fast do they grow?

Its only small...(5 " pot) about 6" high but its just struggling and does not look happy, leaves have brown bits on and 1 stem looks brown too.....

any idea's off the top of your heads ?

i have just put in the ground one of these fatsia japonicas from easy tropicals http://www.easytropicals.com/pp/Trees_a ... Plant.html in the picture it looks like this: http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa445/z1demo1/Fatsia_15L_1reg.jpg it ...

hello i am looking for a fatsia spiderweb and also a fatsia annelise anyone know where i can get them from. There are some small spiderwebs i have seen on ebay but looking for as big a plant as i can get. I already have a fatsia polycarpa, japonica and a varigata but am hoping for the set.

My Fatsia is putting out weird shaped and only half formed leaves (like theyve been eaten by insects before they emerge).. is it possible to lop off the whole crown so it can start from somewhere down the trunk... its only a small single stemmed specimen.

I guess this is not a good sign ?

Hey guys long time no post I just had a question about fatsia japonica well is it unusual to see them flowering at this time of year has both of mine have cheers

I've got one of both of the above. Can I leave them to get on with it this winter like a normal Fatsia Japonica? Both are growing in biggish tubs.

Cheers

Just noticed two flowers forming on my Fatsia Japonica. First ever for me

... in our small garden , regarding the climate we might have a climate like the highlands in Scotland , but that is a guess. This spring I bought a Fatsia Japonica and planted it out in early April , how hardy is the Fatsia Japonica , is it safe and sound in Scotland ( or Goteborg , aaouuch ! ) ...

Hi, I have seen the above and think they look exotic...........are these hardy ?

Has anyone ever propagated fatsia japonica from a cutting ?

I'm told you can take root cuttings, air layer, heel cuttings and softwood cuttings but not sure which would be the most reliable way. Any advice welcome.
