    Hej forum, thanks for being such a knowledgeable bunch!

    I bought this plant (pictures attached) a while back, it surprises me by having some leaves towards the base that are almost heart-shaped, and then further up the leaves are with fingers, some have 3, 5 or 7 fingers. Can someone identify it? At the flower shop there was only one person who said she remembered the name, she called it Akalie or something like that, but I cannot find this name anywhere.

    At the moment it's about 20cm tall. Some leaves look weak, maybe I gave it too much water?

    Thanks for help!

    Looks like Fatsia japonica, Japanese Aralia.
