Thank you. But you’re breaking my heart. I do flower arrangements and I use these leaves, I couldn’t bear that you threw them out. Pity you’re not in Australia 👏
Hey I have the same tree and trying to figure out where to prune it exactly. I couldnt see exactly where you cut it. I also in the PDX area, so wth all the rain, its likely thats whats causing these leaves to look burnt?
I seen people chop this to the ground and it comes back strong in the following year. I've seem people prune the underneath and lift it up exposing the trunk and makeing it more tree like. I think the biggest thing to watch out for is that when pruning not to leave bare trunks sticking out that could be harmful to people walking around it. These are hardy plants. If the leaves get burnt its ok to prune them back.
I have two of these in large pots. I live in Vancouver BC. The larger one was so beautiful early in season and I repotted from large ceramic pot to a square cedar planter. It became ridden with what I believe to be aphids and I sprayed with soapy water. All the bottom leaves turned yellow and died so I removed them. It is now just stems with all the new growths at the top. Also the top leaves have these transparent brown patches which could be sun Damage) it’s in a mostly shaded spot on my patio but we have had epic heat wave and because it got so tall parts were exposed to sun…or some other disease?. I just wonder if I can cut it completely at this time of the season. My other fatsia is similar…a tall stem in a pot after losing bottom foliage. The upper growth is pale in hue. Just wondering if you can prune in august heat or should I wait until next year…. Yours looks amazing. I love the tropical vibe of hese deluxe plants with their huge leaves. I’m super bummed about my big one flailing.
Hi Jennifer, in the pacific northwest these are resilient plants. I've seen them cut to the ground and come back. A good rule of thumb is to prune no more than a 1/3rd at a time. probably not best to prune when it is too hot. It's always good to remove dead and dying parts. any pruning invigorates new growth so one would not want to burn new shoots. If you wanter do so in the cooler weather. Don't water in the heat of the day water droplets can burn the plant. Burst of water helps with washing away the bugs. pray over it and speak wellness over your plants. I hope this helps.
Hi Kelly sorry for the late reply. They could be kind of invasive and grow but their not trees. I didn't see much foundation damage in my 38 years of being in the garden. In certain climates they can get up to 16 ft tall. According to an article I read from Gardeners world magazine. It stated they do not form problem roots, and they are quite weak and fibrous. my experience it is a fairly soft body plant. Hope that helps.
yes. article I found on google: This varietal can be propagated both by seed and stem-tip cutting. It's unlikely your plant will flower indoors, so you are better off opting for the stem-tip cutting method. To propagate, taking a cut of stem from a mature plant early in the growing season and use a rooting hormone for best success.Jan 27, 2021 Common name: Japanese aralia, Spider's web, ...

Thank you for the comment. I could let them grow up. but gardeners prune to keep plants under control. or if a plant is diseased or has insect issues, or needing more air circulation. Sometimes after pruning it has fresh new growth the following year. and yes my wife wanted them pruned.
depends on the plant. What plant you thinking of. One rule isThe right time is when there is something dead, diseased or rubbing that leads to disease..
Thank you for your comment. In an ideal world it would be great to have had a florist reuse them, or like you suggested to regrow them as new plants. I also don't like waste, however they were recycled into compost. Some situations require space, greenhouses, to regrow them, etc. Some plants are also pruned to eliminate diseases and insects damage. Those cuttings would not be good for re-growing. Also in certain economic situations it more feasible to recycle them.
Good video. I like it that you just get in and do it - no waffling on for half of the video. Thank you. I will
be doing mine tomorrow.
Thank you!
Thank you. But you’re breaking my heart. I do flower arrangements and I use these leaves, I couldn’t bear that you threw them out. Pity you’re not in Australia 👏
I would've gladly given you all of them. I love the foliage.
The cutting could be planted too....
@@andreazima Yes cuttings can be propagated in their healthy and not diseased or infested with insects.
Breaks my heart to. I am a Horticulturist/ gardener in the UK, & I would be reluctant to cut back so hard, but just my view.
Very good information; great video; very helpful. Thank you.
thank you
Thank you, I am heading out now to prune, and thanks for mentioning your location! Gibsons, B.C. Canada
Thank You
This is good info, hate to see you trash the plant cuttings. Could you stick the cuttings in the ground somewhere else and make new plants?
you can but it has more to do with values, priority management, costs, resources and other factors.
Hay Dios yo con un ramito 😭 de ésas 🇩🇴🇩🇴😀😀

I absolutely love that you said to pray over and speak wellness to your plants. This made me smile, friend!
Will these damage the house foundation if planted too close?

I have a tall one that came with the house I bought. Can I cut thick old wood to promote lower growth?
yes
You’re chopping it up
I was instructed to do so from someone who wanted it that way.
Can you propagate those cuttings?
yes. article I found on google: This varietal can be propagated both by seed and stem-tip cutting.

How to Grow Japanese Aralia (Fatsia Japonica
What do you need to prune them for 🤦🏼♂️
巨人の肩 Because his wife wants him to. Got it?
@@Mrs.TJTaylor 😂

happy wife Happy life :)
how do you start them from a existing plant?
rooting hormone might work.
When is the right and wrong time to prune?
depends on the plant. What plant you thinking of. One rule isThe right time is when there is something dead, diseased or rubbing that leads to disease..
Aaargh , how can you throw them away ? You could re grow them as new plants, what a waste.

Great tips. What is the plant growing to the right of the Aralia?

What do you need to prune them for 🤦🏼♂️
People just prune everything because they are bored. Then they make up some bullshit excuse.
some plants can be left alone and it grows towards its capacity. Some plants are pruned for security and visibilty purposes.
Wrong plant for that space.
Thank you for your comment it was originally there. I had a couple choices. Remove it. Prune it down. Allow it to grow up.
