Expert Grower’s Tips for Red Maui Ixora

Advice from our growing experts

Give Full Sun

Give Full Sun

Ixora plants demand 8–10 hours of daily sunlight. Full exposure creates dense clusters of flowers. Limited sun results in weak or reduced blooms.

Maintain Moisture

Maintain Moisture

Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Use mulch to retain soil moisture in hot months. Proper watering supports constant flowering.

Feed for Flowers

Feed for Flowers

Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. Fertilizer boosts bloom production and maintains vibrant red color. Overfeeding is not necessary—steady feeding is best.

This shop has the most fantastic, healthy, gorgeous plants. I am a repeat customer and have never been disappointed. In fact the plants have always exceeded my expectation and plants are often much larger than expected. Packaging is some of the most professional I've seen, with not one leaf damaged. I'll be back for more.
