Please help! My fatsia japonica didn’t winter too well, all of the lower leaves have dropped off. How can I bring it back healthy? If I cut off the upper portion will it grow new leaves? Is that the best thing to do? Its in a large container on my patio. Thank you.
I’d be careful keeping it out on the patio until temps at night are above 50°. I’d start feeding it with a soluble plant food like Jack’s General Purpose Plant food every three weeks. When you see signs of new growth you could snip off the very tip of it to force side growth lower dawn.
