X Fatshedera lizei - Tree Ivy A bi-generic hybrid between Fatsia and Hedera
|
|
The Plant: Lush foliage plant bearing shiny hand-shaped leaves of emerald green with lighter gold veining. The Tree Ivy plant is a result of a cross between the Fatsia and a Hedera.
As well as being a good general purpose houseplant, Fatshedera lizei is good for shrub borders or as specimen plant in container outdoors - being quite hardy. It may need cutting back hard from time to time, otherwise this evergreen may become a bit too leggy!
Its needs: X Fatshedera
prefers to be grown in shade or semi-shade conditions, but with
good circulation of air, and a moist cool atmosphere. A
well-draining, fertile potting mix is advised.
Care: During the growing season the Tree Ivy should be
watered very well once a week, and fed every 2 – 3 weeks. Reduce
watering in winter to every 3 weeks, without feed. Whilst cool
conditions are preferred, X Fatshedera can tolerate warmth.
Either way this plant grows vigorously and should be trimmed to
shape regularly. It can be trained to grow up a pole or mini
trellis, or grown as a bushy shrub resembling a Fatsia. Watch
out for red spider mite, scale pest and aphids.
Good for: Lush, vigorous growth, vibrant evergreen
foliage, attractive, but could get quite big quite quickly!
