Fatsia Japonica Pale Leaves ?

Fatsia is a lovely hardy foliage plant/shrub . I have grown some from seed and kept three in containers. Two of them have the lovely dark green glossy leaves that Fatsia is famous for. The largest of the three has pale almost yellowy leaves . I am going to plant this one in the garden in a shady spot . What is the solution for pale leaves ? Is it to much or to little water , does it need better feeding ? (High nitrogen like Phostrogen ? )
Any ideas ?

TIA

 

It may well need a feed Harry,I'm just looking at one of mine and it's the same,I thought maybe it could be a bit on the dry side but another I have is in a spot that very rarely gets any moisture is lovely and green so I think food is the trick

 

give it a watering with sequestrene, I know they are not erecaciuos but they do like a bit of iron.

 

Is the pale leaved one in bright light and are the other two in shade?

 

Might it be a sport? - Fatsia has hybrids for Variegated and Spiders Web (amongst others).

 

Thanks all , it is not a sport , it once had lovely green leaves.
Kindred it has been in bright light all winter , it is now planted in a shadey bed. After planting I gave it a good watering and feed with Phostrogen , I will give it a feed with sequestrene in about 6 weeks . Then just wait to see how it goes.

 

Hmmm ... bit surprising then. Might it be diseased? (Looking healthy and throwing out new leaves and all that jazz?)

I'd be inclined to give it a Seaweed tonic (sooner rather than later) such as Maxicrop.

 

Mine look fine, but I own some (expensive-ish)

which being a cheapskate I never use - which is so totally daft I'm going to mix some up now and go put it on all the plants that might appreciate it

(Checks weather forecast - no rain forecast this evening ...)

 

Yep, it needs shade to bring out a dark glossy leaf and certainly iron will help. I'd give it an iron feed now.

 

Fatsia prefer shade - is the yellow one in sun and other two in shade? (seems unlikely though!)

 

Two of them had been in the sun , one had glossy leaves t'other yellowish. That one is now planted in a shadey border , and I will give it a liquid feed of sulphate of iron this weekend. I don't have anything fancy like "Maxicrop Seaweed Plus Sequestered Iron" . Hopefully we will get a 10 page report from JWK on how it performs

 

Mines almost empty already
I will use the last bit on my fatsia,it also is a tad yellow and in full sun
Can they be dug up and moved?

 

I've got a largish Fatsia by my front gate, its been there a few years, its putting out lots of new growth right now, the foliage is probably not as dark as seen on plants grown in total shade, but it looks, and is, healthy.
I've seen a few yellow ones though that look sick, often its because of poor root growth, which means the plant is starved, so, yes, a bit of nitrogen, but I still think they struggle if the soil is slightly alkaline, until well established.
