Fatsia help! #62812 July 25th, 2006 at 03:12 AM

OP Huangrabarguar Member Joined: Jul 2006 Devon, England	I took an offset from a large Fatsia in my garden and planted it in a seperate pot. However, when i looked at the top of the stem i noticed it was hollow, and that there were a few grubs/caterpillars inside, eating away at it. I cut this part off but all i'm left with now is one leaf. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v513/huangrabarguar/68dd435e.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v513/huangrabarguar/d3a38ebe.jpg Will the cut-back stem heal? I was thinking of covering it in wax... How do i encourage more leaves to grow?

Fatsia grow easily from cuttings with a little time. Make sure to watch for more pests and deal with them quickly. Good job there.
