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.

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.

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.

How To Care For Prayer Plant

Water when the top quarter of the soil has dried out, reducing this further in autumn and winter. If the plant gets crispy or distorted new growth, curling leaves, crispy or dry patches and yellowing leaves.  Than the plant is or under-watered or is in a too light/hot spot and possibly think about a repot. If the plant rapidly gets yellowing leaves, leaf spot disease, stem collapse and plant death. Than the plant is or over-watered, gets too little light, has lack of drainage or incorrect soil  and possibly got root rot.

This plant 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 morning sunlight for an hour or two per day.

This plant likes a stable humid environment. Therefore you can use a humidity tray and/or mist the leaves every now and than. If the surrounding saturation is too low or the heat too high, its leaves may start to brown over and curl, especially in direct sunlight. Those in either a bathroom or a dark location must not be over-misted as too much moisture will result in powdery mildew and leaf-spot disease.

Prayer plant likes nutrient-rich, well-draining soil.

You can use houseplant feed fortnightly in spring and summer and once a month during autumn and winter. Directly applying a ‘ready to pour’ feed into the soil without a pre-water beforehand will burn the roots, causing yellowed leaves and stunted growth.

If using fertiliser is new to you, read our “How to Fertilise Your Houseplant” page!

Check the plant occasionally for spider mites, mealybugs, scale, thrips and aphids. If you think your plant is suffering from a pest or disease, take a look at our Pests and Infections page!

We recommend you re-pot your prayer plant every spring. For this, you will need some soil substrate, new compost, and a larger nursery pot.
