Awesome Shade Color - 'Spider's Web Fatsia

[@susanbaker2796]

You've sold me on the Spider's Web Fatsia! I went back and watched several of your older videos on them as well. This spring I'm going to plant one fatsia centered between six Otto Luyken Laurel along my back foundation. Thanks, Jim!

[@barbarawalker8044]

I really appreciate how much you educate us on the ins and outs of each plant, how to plant them, care for them and their characteristics. Thank you, Jim for such great videos.

[@mybahe1]

As always thank you for taking the time to show us another beautiful flower! 🌺

[@nancybennett9265]

I've had a Spider Web Fatsia for 2 years and didn't know it would bloom! We're in 7A and it has done well in the winters, but it seems to be slow growing. It's a pretty little thing!

[@NatureMan1]

Fatsia is a beautiful tropical looking plant! Also great houseplant in colder zones! Thanks for sharing this variety! 😍Merry Christmas!

[@JJ-fm3hr]

great presentation always learn something each time i watch

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for following along.

[@fundamental1020]

Looks like a beauty! I will look for it next spring. Thanks Jim. Merry Christmas!!!

[@JimPutnam]

Merry Christmas to you as well!!

[@mickyunit]

Oooh!!!! Just bought one the other day, 25% off!!! Excited to get this planted and enjoy it! Also just ordered a pieris from home depot. Thank you for sharing so many cool plants, Jim! Congrats on surpassing 100k💚💚💚

[@rachelhogge6784]

Love the variegated leaves...definitely added to the list! Another “absolute favorite” 😉

[@jolus6678]

I would love to see a large mature established specimen of 'Spiders web' . I notice that all the videos only show small young plants.

[@favoritehobbygardenerOKLAHOMA]

I just bought my first one. Found it at Lowe’s. I’m in OK, zone 6b so I’m planting mine inside. 🤞 wish me luck.

[@loriswain8140]

Super cool plant. Glad to see you are back! Happy holidays!

[@Tofog22000]

Great to learn about plants I've never seen before!

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for watching. Fatsia is one of my favorites.

[@jimwesselman]

What a beautiful plant!

[@LinusCello75]

Wow first! I have two. The one in the north side of the house I think is nicer with larger leaves and holds the variegation more than the one I have on the south side of the house. But the one on the south side isn’t too bad either. Also recently planted Variegata' Camouflage™ on the east side of the house and so far the leaf variegation looks good.

[@JimPutnam]

Wow nice. Send a photo for subscriber sunday sometime.

[@LinusCello75]

Mark Weathington in one of the JC Raulston videos mentioned not to fertilize. The poorer the soil the better the variegation.

[@JimPutnam]

@@LinusCello75 I grow everything a little lean. I fertilize with an organic fertilizer in the spring and then they fend for themselves. Most people are over loving plants really. Not sure about the variegation thing though. The containers are fertilized heavily and look great. Who knows

[@cme9758]

Love this plant, hope to find them when I'm ready to begin planting in my new garden. I just moved, so I get to begin a new garden in my new home.

[@xiomaramartinez3212]

Beautiful!! Welcome home!!

[@terrimainey4656]

So glad to see your videos each time. I'm sure Charlie and you had a blast.. but I've missed your updates. :)

[@JimPutnam]

Thank you. I have a ton of things shot, but we stayed super busy for thirteen days.

[@terrimainey4656]

Fabulous looking plant!!

Welcome back! We missed you😄

[@lisawalters5482]

Beautiful plant. Tfs.

[@kerlor478]

It's a beautiful tree! I've not killed 1 but 2 this summer in zone 7a. I will definitely try again.

[@afrocraft1]

Why's yours dying in the _summer_ in 7a? I thought it was the cold that was supposed to kill it.

[@kerlor478]

@@afrocraft1the only think I can think of is root rot. I may have planted a little deep.

[@jennifernash4638]

I will be keeping my eye out for this one!

[@angeldollball]

Wanted to shair this: I have had a Fatsia Spiderweb in ground now for 1 year, planted from a tiny 4 inch pot that I bought from Logees late May 2020, growinglike crazy. So, I noticed what looked like babies sprouting from the base of the mother plant. Everything I have read seems to suggest they dont pup but can be propagated only by a cutting with root hormone and by seeds....well, not 100% TRUE. I have 6 new plants that have their own roots but where still attached to the mother plant by bottom stalk. Super easy to separate and plant the babies as roots already of their own while still growing from the mother stalk!

[@lorilawton9546]

Nice plant! Merry Christmas🎄

[@donnahazlett6676]

Beautiful plant....only wish my zone wasn't too cold for it.

[@JimPutnam]

This one is definitely cold sensitive. Thanks for watching.

[@michellekrantz888]

Can this be grown as a houseplant in colder zones? It's gorgeous!

[@maiyang6690]

Jim - love this plant but I can't find it at my locate nursery or big box stores in Ga.

[@Icarmzzy]

So pretty!

[@KayentaRojo]

Hello Jim, quick question for ya! I live in Southern Utah zone 8b/9a and it’s very dry (because it’s the southwest) and I was wondering how much success I could have with Fatsia in a full/ partially shaded position here in the desert? I have had success with Aucuba and Camelias and I was thinking about trying Fatsia! I would love to hear back from you, thank you for making these awesome videos!

[@lblak59]

I wish you profiled more colder zones plants.

[@JimPutnam]

I have a playlist on the channel for each zone. There is a zone 5 playlist with all the plants I have ever covered that work there.

[@stevensawicki824]

Jim, is the spiders web possible to grow in the Chicagoland area if covered and protected during the winter months ?

[@perseverancegardnercynthia4031]

Wow! The plant looks gorgeous! Would it do well in zone 9b?

[@JimPutnam]

Yes, in the shade.

[@thecakepopsistars]

Stunning! 😍

[@shawnfox7393]

I don't get much variegation on my spider's web fatsia, just the edges of the leaves are white. I've read elsewhere this may be due to my soil being too fertile. Mine is in a raised bed that is about 50% compost.

[@JimPutnam]

That container was 100 percent aged bark and fertilizer. I see be differences on them in the nurseries as well. It may need a little more sun.

[@david020218]

Beautiful foliage

[@JimPutnam]

It really is

[@rdarrett3635]

Absolutely love this plant. I hate that I live in 6B.

[@tinachristensen4008]

Love this fatsia! I first saw one up in Gig Harbor Washington at my daughter's church. I fell in love with it! Was so disappointed to learn it's zone requirements. I live in a 6b zone. Is there anything I could do to have a fatsia and protect it through winter so it wouldnt die? Wish I had a greenhouse! Then I could pot it up and put it in the greenhouse for winter.

[@robboone4367]

Wow! beautiful! Is it deer resistant?

[@adrabruzzese7610]

That is gorgeous! I wish I could grow it in zone 6b.

[@rdarrett3635]

Me too!!😔

[@angeldollball]

I tried it in SE KY, zone 6b, close to 7a. I planted Spiderweb Fatsia last June. So far now mid January, it is doing great😁. I covered it with cloth and a throw over during the recent Christmas snow storm, cold snap as it got down near 10 degrees. Also, it is planted in a microclimate. You should try it as mine has mostly been uncovered all winter and zero burn damage, so far! Good luck

[@adrabruzzese7610]

@@angeldollball thank you so much for the information! I may just try planting the fatsia.

[@judysimmons5203]

The ONLY plant the freeze didn't take. Still outside green as ever.

[@marythomson3229]

I’m really wanting one of these. Which side of the house is best to plant it?

[@cathybrown8334]

Jim, never seen this plant before. Do you suggest Plants by Mail ? Also what about deer?

[@JimPutnam]

Deer will nibble on this, but it is definitely not the top of the list. I kinda said nothing because it is some do and some don't kinda plant.

[@JimPutnam]

This one is generally more widely available in the spring. Plantsbymail or a higher end garden center

[@cathybrown8334]

@@JimPutnam Lowe’s and Home Depot never have anything but the same old thing. Thx.

[@henkboute9856]

can you still plant this in Asheville?

[@JimPutnam]

I would probably spring plant in 7a

[@tazmankb26]

different than Japanese Arayla?

[@JimPutnam]

People do call Fatsia Japanese Aralia. It is in the Aralia family which has something like 68 members

[@bohnnco]

I saw a few at southern states yesterday in chapel hill and was tempted but felt it’s best to plant a fatsia in early spring. I did plant a few Halley’s Comet anise. Not sure if you’ve featured some of the new’ish anise. Thx

[@JimPutnam]

I have a video for miss scarlet illicium that I shot but haven't edited. That is the story of channel!!

[@ThePoehladian]

I have a California King palm ( I think) on my deck about the size of that palm behind you. It came up from a seed in a potted plant I brought from Phoenix when I moved here. I really thought it died last winter but she came back and grew well this summer. Vicious shark teeth on the stems. Nothing gonna mess with this palm, lol. They get insanely fat. A "weed" over there, a gem over here. ✌🌴

Sigh. When you are one zone outside the range.
