Is my fatsia japonica ok?

All this year's new leaves are yellowy-white. They feel normal.

It's meant to be a variegated one (Spiders Web? Not sure) and there's barely any variegation.

The other picture is what it looked like when I planted it two years ago.

'With Fatsia Spiderweb the colour of the leaves can change with each new flush they are not consistant,one flush could produce nearly all white leaves then the next flush they could be nearly all green.This happens with all my spiderwebs reguardless of weather they are in deep shade or dappled shade.What I wouldn't do is plant where they get to much direct sun as if they put a flush of nearly all white leaves they will get scorched and look terrible until the next flush.'

Oh bizarre - mine is exactly the same. I’ve no idea why but somehow reassured to know it’s not just mine!

Yes, mine is the same. I assumed it was just the new growth.

Last year's new leaves were bright green, and darkened. They were barely variegated, and had 6-7 'fingers'. This year's leaves not only are white, but have 8-9 'fingers'.

It's in a corner of the garden that gets no sun at all, so the new growth brings a lovely bright spot of colour.
