Ixora is a tropical to semi-tropical evergreen shrub. The plant is often grown as an annual in temperate and cooler climates. Ixora shrubs are known for their large corymbs of bright florets. The large flower clusters come in red, orange, yellow and pink, and it’s also known as jungle flame and flame of the woods. Minimal maintenance is needed when growing an Ixora bush.
SUNLIGHT/LOCATION:-
Ixora is a sun-loving plant. While it tolerates some shade, bright sunlight brings out vibrant colors and more prolific blooming. However, in hot climates, the shrub benefits from light shade during the hottest part of the afternoon.
DAIZZ’S TIPS:-
WATERING:-
Water Ixora as needed to keep the soil evenly moist, but not muddy. Although the plant prefers moist soil, it may rot in excessively soggy soil. Water the shrub sparingly during the winter months.
FERTILIZER:-
Feed Ixora in early spring, using an acidic fertilizer formulated for Ixora, azalea and gardenias, which has a ratio such as 4-8-8, along with minor elements that are beneficial. Repeat in midsummer and autumn. Acidic fertilizer is especially important if the foliage takes on a yellowish cast, indicating a magnesium deficiency caused by improper soil pH. Apply the fertilizer according to label specifications, then water deeply.
MULCHING:-
Spread at least 3 to 4 inches of organic mulch such as pine needles, compost, shredded leaves or bark chips, on the soil around the Ixora plant to conserve soil moisture and help maintain a proper acidic soil pH. In spring, remove the mulch along with the top crust of soil. Replace the removed mulch and soil with fresh mulch.
PRUNING:-
Prune Ixora after blooming slows in late autumn or anytime the shrub looks untidy. Prune each shoot down to just one bud or prune the shrub as needed to create the size and shape desired. Izora shrubs tolerate pruning well and can be trimmed back by several inches without harm. However, many gardeners prefer to leave the shrub unsheared for a more natural appearance.
PESTS/DISEASE:-
Protect Ixora from aphids and scales. Aphids are tiny, green insects that congregate at joints of the leaves and stems or the undersides of the leaves. Scales are hard-shelled insects that give the foliage a waxy appearance. Regular application of an insecticidal soap spray or neem oil usually helps to control both pests.

Hello, Where did you get mulch/pine needles from in India?
What is the proper time to plant ixora
What is the size of container required for dwarf ixora plant?
Thank you for your valuable instructions. I bought six of the maui reds. I live in a hot southern state in the U.S. When we first planted them, they looked great and the blooms were full. It's only been three months and now they've stopped blooming. Do they go through spells where they don't bloom? We also have a lot of red clay in our soil. I fear that may not be their best choice for growth also. Can you give me any advice as to what to try first. The plants are in my flowerbed that gets sun most of the day. Thank you so much, sir.
Very informative video. Thanks for your tutorial.
