Ixora Plant Specification
Ixora should be watered as needed to keep the soil evenly moist.
Although the plant prefers moist soil, excessively wet soil can cause it to rot.
During the winter, water the shrub sparingly.
Feed Ixora in early spring with an acidic fertiliser formulated for Ixora, azaleas, and gardenias, with a ratio of 4-8-8 and beneficial minor elements.
Repeat in the middle of summer and autumn.
An acidic fertiliser is especially important if the foliage turns yellow, indicating a magnesium deficiency caused by poor soil pH.
Remove the mulch and top crust of soil in the spring.
Fresh mulch should be used to replace the removed mulch and soil.
Prune Ixora after blooming has slowed in late autumn or whenever the shrub appears untidy.
Prune each shoot to one bud or prune the shrub as needed to achieve the desired size and shape.
Keep aphids and scales away from Ixora.
Aphids are tiny green insects that congregate at leaf and stem joints or on the undersides of leaves.
Scales are hard-shelled insects that add a waxy appearance to the foliage.
Both pests are usually controlled by using an insecticidal soap spray or neem oil on a regular basis.
