Fatsia japonica is considered a safe houseplant - no known toxins. Although as with anything some people may have an allergic to the plant itself but this appears to be very rare

Hi Emily, Good luck with the job hunt, Spritz is right, things have a way of working out!!
I have a Fatsia Japonica in a similar place to yours (next to my front door in the shade). You can prune it hard in the spring. I cut it right back (most branches to the ground) this spring and it has come back big and strong - it'll need the same treatment next year. I've not heard of the sap being poisonous; although I didn't try any so who knows :o)

Hallo - nil desperandum - something will come up! Meanwhile,glad you found us!
