About Perlite
Are you wishing to maximise growth in your indoor houseplants? One of the best ways this can be done is to use Perlite in your soil. Perlite is a volcanic glass that helps your plants to breath by maximising air flow through the soil. Covered in tiny holes and air compartments, this compound is helpful with: aerating soil, water retention, drainage, and preventing soil compaction.
Perlite is suitable for use with most houseplant we sell, and is a beneficial addition for any shrub, hanger, palm, or cactus. However, spider plants and peace lilies love a moister soil. So air on the side of caution with adding perlite to those two soils!
Even though perlite is a man-made product (heated artificially to 1600 degrees C), it’s completely non-toxic and safe to put in any indoor, or outdoor soil.
Are you a plant propagator? Perlite is also a great choice if you’re wanting to propagate, or repot your plant. If you want your cuttings to develop strong roots, place them in a perlite mixture for 2-3 weeks straight out of water.
I ordered a long stemmed bamboo and I am so pleased. It got delivered promptly with it being packaged so lovingly so it wouldn't get damaged. You don't often see attention to detail like that any more The plant arrived strong and healthy looking. . Going to order more
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!
Really pleased with my purchase which arrived in a timely manner. Great value for money too.
The plants I ordered arrived promptly and in great condition, they were bigger than I expected too!
Exactly like I ordered, it's a very cute little lucky bamboo plant. In the cutest pot, still very green and lush. I was away when it arrived, but is absolutely perfect. Thank you! Definitely recommend
Really good quality plant. Arrived quickly and was well packaged. Would definitely buy again.
Lovely plant received as per image and very well packed. Happy with the service and the plant. Thank you.
Beautiful plant never had a plant delivered with such care on the packaging would not hesitate to order with this company again without a doubt Thanks so much absolutely made up with my order
Absolutely delighted with my purchase, which was a new home gift for my daughter. She was thrilled with it. Thanks for a great plant, good packaging and prompt delivery.
Plants were received extremely quickly in superb condition, also they were very securely packaged. They are now doing very well and settled in nicely. Many thanks and I highly recommend you.
The plant arrived in great condition. It looked very fluffy and healthy.
I ordered three plants, they arrived promptly, well packaged and in excellent condition - very health plants. Will recommend this company to my friends and family.
A good selection of plants and just what I was looking for. They were despatched quickly but due to a problem with the courier I had to wait longer than expected for them. That was disappointing. Overall customer service was good. More care needs to be taken by the courier service as when the plants did arrive the box was on its side at the back of the van.
I ordered this plant well in advance of an Anniversary and requested it be delivered as close as possible to the day. This happened and the recipients appear to be very happy with the plant.
Great product fast delivery. As to be expected from Bolton being originally from Farnworth.many thanks highly recommended
ZZ Plant arrived on the day expected, well packaged and looking healthy. I will be ordering more plants from Oxy-Plants in the future.
Four really well packed large plants arrived in one box with only one leaf lost! The order was a bit delayed but only because they were awaiting better quality stock. Good prices too considering other online plant companies.
Lovely Bonsai Elm Tree. Obviously well cared for. Qiick delivery. Packed securely no damage to tree or cermamic pot. Only reservation. I ordered Baby Bio food but it was not included in parcel BUT one phone call and item refunded straight away. Will use seller again.
Just the job, thank you Oxy. Plant arrived looking happy and healthy. Looks great in its new position. It was well packaged but without too much unnecessary plastic (a bugbear of mine). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
the plant arrived early and in great condition. It looks lovely in my sitting room. I have care instructions to help guide me too.
I purchased a Lucky Bamboo plant and when it arrived the plant was in absolutely great condition. Even better than I had originally anticipated. However, the pot the plant came in was broken despite the protective package. It's most probable that the pot was broken whilst in transit.Upon contacting Customer Services, the representative was friendly, efficient and prompt in resolving the issue.Therefore, I will definitely be making further purchases and would highly recommend Oxy - Plants.
Thank you excellent plants delivered. What I have been buying these same plants from other suppliers and I can tell you your plans are really the best. Thank you.
It’s the first time I’ve bought something from this website. The price was competitive compared to other sites so I decided to give them a try. The plants arrived well packaged, as tall as expected and in great condition. Very pleased with my purchase thank you!
Plants delivered increadibly promptly and were exactly as pictures depicted in the website. Helpful customer service as well; to help decide which pot or plant could be more appropriate.
