Excellent service and good quality plants. Items were dispatched very quickly, packaged well, and with good communication throughout. So far the plants look great and seem to be adjusting to their new home well.Can't fault at all, would recommend and will definitely be using again.

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.

How To Care For Bird’s Nest Fern

Water when the top third of the soil has dried out throughout the year. If the plant gets wilting, greying of leaves, little to no growth, distorted or crispy growth and foliage decline. Then the plant is or under-watered or is in a too light/hot spot. If the plant starts wilting, yellowing leaves, soil mould, leaf spots and a rotten crown then the plant is or over-watered, gets too little light, has lacks drainage or incorrect soil and possibly got root rot. If you don’t have anything to water with, why not try our BRAND NEW watering cans?

Put this plant in a brightly lit spot away from any direct light during the spring and summer. Excessive exposure during this time will negatively affect the plant in the likes of sunburn and dehydration. Put the plant in autumn and winter on a spot with morningsunlight for an hour or two per day.

This plant likes average room humidity. Over-misting and poor air circulation may cause powdery mildew or botrytis. If you have nothing to mist with, we have the perfect solution! Try our water mister.

Birds Nest Fern likes loose, rich or peat-based mix soil.

You really don’t need to worry about fertiliser with this plant. Equally, if you’ve got your heart set on giving it some, you’ll want a nitrogen heavy fertiliser as this will ensure a lush bushy growth.

Not common to get pests but watch out for spider mites, mealybugs, scale, thrips, aphids vine weevils and root mealybugs. If this becomes a problem, simply treat it with some of our neem oil!

Repotting isn’t too much of an issue with the bird’s nest fern as it won’t grow too much from the time of purchase. Simply, have a look at our range of of stone plant pots and pick which one you find nicest!
