Care Tips:
Light: Ixora plants prefer full sun to partial shade. They should receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Soil: Well-draining, slightly acidic soil is ideal for ixora plants. Adding organic matter like compost can improve soil fertility and drainage.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water ixora plants deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, especially during hot weather.
Fertilization: Feed ixora plants with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid excessive fertilization, which can lead to salt buildup in the soil.
Pruning: Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and promotes flowering. Prune ixora plants after flowering to remove spent blooms and shape the plant as desired.
Pest and Disease Control: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids, scales, and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
Temperature and Humidity: Ixora plants prefer warm temperatures above 60°F (15°C) and thrive in humid conditions. Protect them from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Repotting: If growing ixora as a potted plant, repot it every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh potting mix.
Propagation: Ixora plants can be propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut ends in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining rooting medium until roots develop.
By following these care tips, you can enjoy healthy ixora plants with beautiful blooms in your garden or indoor space.
