An Ixora with white flowers

This beautiful plant in the picture is an Ixora with white flowers, a popular tropical ornamental shrub known for its abundant, ball-like blooms.

Here are the most important care instructions to ensure continuous flowering:
☀️ Light and Sun
• Loves Sun: Ixora needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure profuse flowering.

• Caution: In the hottest summer months, it's best to provide some partial shade during the midday hours to prevent leaf scorch.

💧 Watering and Humidity
• Moist Soil: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering, as the roots can rot if the soil becomes waterlogged.

• Humidity: As a tropical plant, it thrives in high humidity. Mist the leaves with water during the summer.

🌱 Soil and Fertilization
• Acidic Soil: Ixora prefers well-draining, acidic soil. If the leaves turn yellow (chlorosis), this may indicate that the soil is alkaline or that the plant is deficient in iron.

• Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer (such as NPK 10-10-10) every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote flowering.

✂️ Pruning and General Care
• Pruning: Gently prune the plant after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage the growth of new branches that will produce more flowers.

• Removing Faded Flowers: Regularly remove clusters of dead flowers to encourage the plant to produce new buds.

• Temperature: This plant is very sensitive to cold; temperatures should not fall below 15-18°C (54-65°F).
