\nChurch Flowers: The Essential Guide to Arranging Flowers in Church by Judith Blacklock<\/p>\nSpecial Tips for Flower Arranging with Fatsia<\/h2>\n\n- Fatsia has hand shaped, leathery leaves are apple-green in colour.<\/li>\n
- The bold shiny leaves work well in traditional flower arrangements.<\/li>\n
- The different sized leaves which the plant produces are useful for different types of arrangement.<\/li>\n
- The leaves should be cut a day before arranging and given a long deep drink.<\/li>\n
- The edge of the leaves or fingers can be clipped to a shape that suits your arrangment.<\/li>\n
- The leaves can be laid flat to form a green base of splayed finger shapes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
