About Ixora (Orange, Semi-Dwarf)
Ixora is a genus of flowering shrubs from the Rubiaceae family, known for glossy leathery leaves and dense, star-shaped flower clusters — commonly called flame of the woods or jungle flame. This is a semi-dwarf orange-flowering hybrid, bred to stay compact and pot-friendly while flowering profusely almost year-round.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 4 hours of direct sunlight daily; blooming reduces in full shade.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content; acidic to neutral pH.
- Water: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; keep consistent moisture near the root zone, watered morning or evening.
Planting & Placement
Grows well in a pot at least 30 cm wide, in raised beds, or as border/hedge planting. Reaches roughly 50-100 cm in height as a compact shrub. Best suited outdoors in semi-shade to full sun.
Care
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month; a phosphorus-based fertilizer once a month encourages more blooms. Water immediately after feeding.
- Pruning: Minimal — remove dead, infected, or damaged growth as needed.
Flowering
Blooms typically start within a month of purchase and continue almost year-round, with clusters of long-lasting orange star-shaped flowers.
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.
