Already I am regretting purchasing a plant from this service! The POOREST customer service I have ever seen. They do not answer emails or calls. I haven’t even received my plant yet but I paid extra for express delivery and was told it would arrive at the start of the week. I have heard nothing about where my order is and no one has replied to my emails or calls. Completely unprofessional and clearly if you offer a service such as express delivery you should be able to cater to that. However, this company is clearly incapable of keeping the customer updated on anything about their order. Where is my order, I have no idea!! Who knows if I’ll even receive it. After reading other reviews I can see I’m not the only one who has had issues! Just avoid to begin with and save yourself the hassle.

Fantastic plant - an Areca Palm - at a fantastic price. Finishes off our bedroom redecoration perfectly. Can’t fault the service we received, next day delivery and the plant is amazing! It can sometimes be a gamble buying plants on line but we were blown away with the plant we received, it’s huge, healthy and beautiful. Definitely had the wow factor and we’d definitely recommend Oxy-Plants!

Love my plant!! I bought a Areca Palm - 140cm and it's perfect. It looks amazing in our bay window and looks exactly how it looks on the website. I've seen some bad reviews on here but my experience has been great. Buying plants online is tricky and this is my first time buying houseplants from Oxy and am very pleased with the service.

Thanks Lucie for all your help! – I spoke to Lucie over Oxy-Plants Instagram as I was a little unsure which plants would be good for my office. She recommended a devil’s ivy for my bookcase and a swiss cheese plant for the corner of my room. It looks amazing, thanks so much!!!

I was struggling with what present to give my mum as a present this year. I opted for a poinsettia plant and she wasn’t disappointed. The plant is still doing well, even into January.

I usually don’t write reviewsI usually don’t write reviews, but this one was owed. Before purchasing my gorgeous Bird of Paradise I contacted the Company and got in touch with Cliah who went above and beyond to accommodate my request. Needless to say I received the plant in one day and is absolutely delightful. A very well deserved 5 start to them!

My Devil's Ivy plant arrived within a couple of days, very well packaged and totally healthy. Absolutely love it and the macrame hanger I ordered at the same time. Also, I made an email enquiry to oxy-plants and had the loveliest response. Such a positive experience, I strongly recommend this company for its efficiency and value for money.

When we wanted some advice about the right plants for our office space, Oxy-Plants were the obvious choice. There was lots of useful information on the website, and the customer service was second to none. When we had a problem, they fixed it, quickly and efficiently. We love the plants and love the prices - delivery was easy and the plants well packaged.

How To Care For Bird of Paradise Plant

Water your Bird of Paradise when the top half of the soil has dried out. You can purchase a soil & light tester to check when your plant needs hydrating. Don’t allow your Strelitzia to sit in water to avoid the onset of root rot.

Strelitzias love the sun, so place it in the brightest room in the house. Don’t let it stand in a cold, drafty place as this plant is not cold tolerant. It’s also good to wipe the leaves of any dust monthly to let your Bird of Paradise plant bask in all the sunlight it can.

Bird of Paradise plants thrive in bright, moist environments with good air circulation. To maintain a high level of moisture, mist the leaves from time to time to hydrate the leaves with a water mister.

This plant likes rich and well-draining soil. Consider adding a natural houseplant fertiliser and horticultural grit to your potting medium for an extra happy plant.

You can use houseplant feed once a month. But switch to a product high in potassium (like Poinsettia or Tomato-labelled Feed) when the plant is in bloom to prolong the duration of the flowers.

Check this houseplants cubbyholes occasionally for spider mites and mealybugs, scale, thrips and vine weevils. If you find any pests consider using an organic insecticide like neem oil.

Check your Strelitzia’s roots yearly. If your plant is root-bound (its roots are growing out of the bottom of your pot) then it’s time for a new planter).

About Bird of Paradise Plant

The beautiful Bird of Paradise plant originates from South Africa. An elegant houseplant with large, broad, waxy leaves resembling the banana plant (giving it the nickname ‘Wild Banana’).

The Bird of Paradise plant can grow to huge heights, making it a real showpiece in your home. This exotic houseplant loves a warm, humid environment – so, choose a spot where it isn’t going to suffer from cold drafts or changes in room temperature.

Strelitzia Nicolai are also effective at purifying your air! Due to its large leaves, this indoor plant can improve air quality, making your home a happier and healthier environment.

However, the bird of paradise plant is considered toxic. It is perfectly safe to keep in the home if not consumed. If you have a child, cat or dog which may eat the plant it would not be safe.

How to decorate with your Bird of Paradise plant

This plant works best on the floor due to its size. Choose the right size based on the size of your house and where you want it to live – you’re going to be the best judge of how big you want to go here. As a guide, 1m (for most people) is around hip height and 1.5m is a little under your head. It’s worth remembering that the leaves of the Strelitzia arch outwards so you may need a wider space than that of the pot.

Best care tips for Strelitzia

  • Find a brightly lit spot for your strelitzia and keep away from any cold draughts.
  • Treat your plant to a misting to keep well hydrated
  • Wipe the leaves free of dust weekly to maximise photosynthesis
