Caring Tips:-
Sunlight: Give your Dwarf Ixora lots of bright, indirect sunshine. They prefer full light but will tolerate moderate shade.
Watering: Keep the soil damp but not wet. Water deeply when the top inch of soil seems dry. Avoid allowing the plant to sit in standing water.
Soil: Use well-draining, slightly acidic soil rich with organic materials. A mixture of potting soil and peat moss can work well.
Fertilizing: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your Dwarf Ixora a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Feed less in the fall and winter.
Pruning: Pruning on a regular basis will keep the desired form and size. To foster bushy growth, prune dead or leggy branches.
