Ixora chinensis
Ixora chinensis is a tropical evergreen shrub native to South China and Malaysia. It grows up to 100 cm tall and has oval-shaped leaves that are opposite, coriaceous, and cordate at the base. The plant produces bright red-orange flowers that are arranged in 20-30 rings to form a semi-spherical bloom in a double-inflorescence inflorescence.
Soil and Watering: Ixora chinensis prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. It requires regular watering, especially during the growing season, to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Light and Temperature: This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers warm temperatures between 60°F and 70°F (15°C to 21°C).
Fertilization: Ixora chinensis benefits from regular fertilization with a balanced fertilizer that is high in potassium and phosphorus. Fertilize every two weeks during the growing season.
Pruning: Remove spent flowers and dead leaves regularly to promote healthy growth and prevent disease.
Propagation: Ixora chinensis can be propagated through stem cuttings or air layering in the spring or early summer. Cut a healthy section of the stem that has at least one growth point, plant it in well-draining soil, and water it thoroughly.
