Ixora Desi (Pink)

Ixora is a genus of tropical evergreen flowering shrubs known for their vibrant, star-shaped blossoms and glossy, dark green leaves. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, these plants are popular as ornamental garden shrubs and hedges worldwide.

• Sunlight: Ixoras prefer full sun to partial shade. In very hot climates, some afternoon shade can prevent leaf scorch. More sunlight leads to more prolific blooms.
• Soil: They require moist, well-draining, and acidic soil, ideally with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Alkaline soil can cause the leaves to turn yellow.
• Watering: The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Watering frequency should be reduced in the winter.
• Temperature and humidity: As a tropical plant, ixora needs a warm, humid environment.
• Fertilizing: Regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer is recommended during the growing season.
• Pruning: Light pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourages bushier growth.
