FATSIA_JAPONICA.jpg

I agree it's a lovely plant but afraid I can't help with the brown leaf problem. Could it be wind burn? I'm sure someone will be able to help. Welcome to GoY.

The browning of the leaf could be normal especially if lower down the plant, Be warned, the Fatsia is a Biggy and wont be happy too long in a pot, i had to plant mine in a border after a couple of years but i keep trimming it to stop it gett'n too big OB.. ps it looks great in your pot..

Thanks YDD. Bought 2 of these pots and the other is currently housing an Aser tree. My idea is, that as the garden develops, I intend to transfer both Aser & Fatsia into VERY large pots to bring some architecture to and soften what we hope to do on the other side of the garden.

I've read that these plants are quite hardy so it should be okay.

i agree with Dee, i had mine in pot up to this year and it didnt like it, leaves were falling off so in my raised bed it went and got lots of new growth already, lovely plant, welcome to GOY

I've just spotted the frog hiding beside the pot...cheeky little thing ;-))

Lol!

Yes and their is a theme starting to run through the garden now with various frogs sprouting up around the decking. Now we've found a real one as well, well, it's why we've bought the pond to put in.
