Grow your own tropical paradise with these Fatsia Japonica 'Japanese Aralia' Seeds. These seeds produce large plants with large, many-pointed leaves that make Fatsia a pet-friendly alternative to the Monstera Deliciosa. A fun addition to any garden or indoor plant collection.

Instructions:

We recommend using the following to sow the seeds: 

• 12 Cavity Greenhouse or Planter with Humidity Dome
• Soil Pellets or Soil Pods 
• Liquid Fertilizer 

To plant: pre-soak the Fatsia seeds in water for 12-48 hours(optionally, to sterilize the seeds, you can also soak in hydrogen peroxide for 2 hours). Sow the seeds in very moist potting medium, and cover with a humidity dome, keep the seeds >70F, and out of direct sunlight(grow lights or filtered sun is best).

Once the seeds sprout. you can start to remove the humidity dome.
