• Potted in a 4''- 8''pot

 

 

Ixora is more suitable for high-temperature and sunny environments. It likes a humid and hot climate and is not tolerant to low temperatures.

 

It likes acidic soil, and the most suitable soil pH value is 5 to 5.5. It can grow well in soil with good drainage and good fertilizer retention performance. The best cultivated soil texture is sandy loam or humus loam rich in organic matter.

 

• Light

Dragon boat flowers require plenty of sunlight, ideally at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. If the light is insufficient, their growth may be affected, and the color and number of flowers may decrease.

• Water

Ixora likes humidity and is afraid of dryness. During the growth period of the stems and leaves, sufficient water is needed to keep the potting soil moist, which is beneficial to the germination of the shoots and the growth of the leaves. However, if it is too moist for a long time, it is easy to cause the decay of some root systems, affecting growth and flowering. If the soil is too dry or sometimes dry and sometimes wet, and the water supply is not timely, the phenomenon of defoliation will occur.

• Temperature

The suitable growth temperature is between 23~32°C. When the temperature is lower than 20°C, its growth momentum weakens, and the number of flowers blooming significantly decreases. However, if there is sufficient sunlight, there are still a certain number of flower buds. When the temperature is lower than 10°C, its physiological activity decreases and the growth is slow. When the temperature is lower than 0°C, it will cause frost damage.

• Propagation

The reproduction of Ixora can be done by sowing, layering and cutting.

 

 

In the open lawns and street green spaces, in order to break the single style of the lawn, many short hedges are often planted on the lawn, combined with pruning to form various patterns and designs. The dwarf and fine-leaved Ixora species is very suitable for making modeling patterns. In the greening of many scenic spots, it is common to see the beautiful patterns of streamlined and geometric figures drawn with Ixora.
