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 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 Parlour Palm

Parlour palms love a good watering. Keep the soil evenly moist, but not water-logged. Your houseplants should never sit in water, so it’s better to underwater rather over to avoid root rot and ultimately the death of your plant. If you’re a first-time plant parent, read our watering plants guide. You won’t regret it!

Bamboo palms are perfect for a shadier spot in your home. You’ll want to avoid direct sunlight for this plant, you can even place it in a North facing window, which is pretty rare for most indoor plants.

As a tropical palm, Parlour palms love a warm, humid environment if possible. They should be fine in normal household temperatures, but keep them away form any cold drafts. You can introduce a humidifier or treat them to misting to increase the humidity for them. Use a water mister frequently to keep their leaves moist and in their best condition.

You want to keep your Parlour palm in an organically rich, well draining soil. You can introduce sand, grit or perlite to increase drainage. Consider choosing Miracle Gro’s Peat-Free Organic Houseplant Potting Mix.

During Spring and Summer you can use granular, slow-releasing houseplant fertilisers to improve their general health. You can also choose Miracle Gro’s Organic Houseplant Fertiliser. If you have never fertilised a parlour palm, make sure you read our guide to using fertiliser!

Watch out for mealybugs, whiteflies, aphids, fungus gnats and scale. You can treat most of these with a natural insecticide like neem oil. Alternatively, if you’d like a branded pest control spray you can opt for Baby Bio’s Houseplant Bug Killer. If you think your parlour palm has been infected, you can diagnose this using our pests and diseases guide!

You can re-pot your Parlour Palm annually in spring to encourage new growth, or re-pot every 2 or 3 years to keep it at a more manageable size. Always repot to just one size up which will be an addition 2-3 cms in width and depth. We have a handy repotting guide if you have never repotted your plant before.
