1. How to raise

1. Soil: The soil used for growing Ipomoea aquatica must be loose and fertile, and have good drainage and air permeability. This will not only help the roots breathe, but also avoid rot caused by water accumulation. The soil should be acidic, which is also helpful for the growth of plants. It can be prepared with garden soil, river sand and organic fertilizer, mixing the three in a ratio of 1:1:1.

2. Light: Ixora is suitable for growing in places with sufficient light and is resistant to high temperatures. It can be exposed to the scorching sun in summer. However, you still need to pay attention to shading during the seedling period, otherwise it will be sunburned. The mature plant needs to be placed in a sunny place so that it can receive light all day long, especially in winter. Long-term exposure to the sun can also help increase the ambient temperature.

3. Watering: Ixora is a plant that likes moisture. If the climate is relatively dry, it is easy for the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Therefore, you must water it frequently to keep the soil moist. In addition, spray water around to increase the humidity of the environment. The amount of water used each time should not be too large, otherwise water accumulation will cause root rot.

4. Fertilization: The growth of Ixora requires nutrients, especially during its growth period, it is necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably. Usually it is applied every 30-40 days, and organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer is mostly used. If the soil is alkaline, you can use alum fertilizer water or ferrous sulfate solution. In addition, before the plant blooms, you can add some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote flowering.
