I ordered an artificial bonsai for my son who fails to keep real plants alive. It arrived in time and was so beautifully packaged I did think for a moment that I'd made a mistake and bought a real one! He is delighted with it. I wouldn't hesitate to order again.

I recently purchased, at short notice, a Kentia Palm for my mum's birthday. The whole process, from ordering to delivery, was superb. Friendly, efficient communications with the Company, speedy delivery, excellent packaging and a gorgeous plant.
Mum was super stoked🙂.
I will use this Company again.
Thank you.

I ordered a Kentia Palm from Oxy-Plants. I chose Oxy because they were by fair the best value for money and the most efficient in processing and delivering my new plant baby. I ordered on the Thursday and it arrives on the Monday.
I was half expecting the plant to be dehydrated or lost its zest for life. HOWEVER, I couldn't have been more wrong; dark healthy green leaves, beautiful shape to the body of the plant and all planted in a fairly moist post of potting compost.
Wrll done Oxy, you've got a customer for life in me now! 😁

Very quick with responding to any problems, plants arrived healthy and well packed, unfortunately one large pot was broken in transit, but this was very quickly sorted out by Marika and a new pot sent out, I would highly recommend oxy plants.

It's the first time that I shopped for indoor plants at Oxy-Plants and I'm thrilled with my purchase . Both the money tree and kentia palm arrived in a huge box, very well packed. They even arranged the delivery for my preferred day. The plants look strong and healthy and they were very well priced as well. Highly recommend this very friendly small business!

How To Care For Dumb Cane

They like a really good watering then to be left alone to dry out for a bit. This is one houseplant which probably wont mind a routine watering regime. Of course always adjust according to the season and to the needs of your own Dumb Cane, for example expect in very warm months to water more often and in Winter less regularly.

Put this plant in partly shades spot. Don’t put this plant in direct sunlight as this can cause sunburn.

This plant likes a stable humidity environment. So it is recommendable to use a pebble tray to sustain a good humid condition throughout the year. If the surrounding saturation is too low or the heat too high, its leaf-tips may start to brown over and curl, especially in direct sunlight.

This plant likes peaty, well-drained soil.

You can use houseplant feed fortnightly in spring and summer and once a month during autumn and winter.

Not common to get pests but watch out for spider mites and mealybugs. This plant is quite common to be plagues by ” lethal yellow”, a fungal disease that causes yellowing leaves, dropping fruit and eventual death. While trees can be given antibiotics, this is not always successful and most palms end up succumbing to disease.

About Dumb Cane

If warm temperatures are provided with good light, feed and regular watering then you can expect moderate to fast growth. If you fail to give any of those things on a regular basis then growth will slow or even stop completely.

The Dumb Cane does flower indoors every once in a while but they can never match the impressive and splendour of the foliage so don’t worry if yours isn’t producing flowers.

Please note: this plant comes in a plastic nursery pot. Browse our entire range of plant pots to add that extra charm and character to your home.
