About Ixora (Mini Dwarf Orange)
This is an extra-dwarf form of Ixora with clusters of small orange, star-shaped flowers (technically long-lasting sepals, not petals - similar to bougainvillea or poinsettia). Bred specifically for pot growing, it stays compact with small leaves and blooms profusely almost year-round.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 4 hours of direct sunlight; blooming slows in full shade.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile, acidic-to-neutral soil with good drainage.
- Water: When the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; water morning or evening.
Planting & Placement
Grows well in a small pot (minimum ~30 cm) and can also be used for edges, borders, spot planting, group plantings, or trained as a bonsai. Best kept outdoors in bright light to full sun.
Care
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month; add a phosphorus-based feed monthly for heavier flowering.
- Pruning: Minimal - remove only damaged or dead growth; new leaves return readily.
Flowering
Reaches a mature height of under 100 cm. Flowering typically starts within a month of purchase and continues through the year.
Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant. Growth and bloom timing vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline.
