Cultivation methods and precautions of Ixora, pictures of Ixora

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: It likes to grow in a loose, humus-containing soil environment with good drainage and air permeability. When preparing the soil, you can mix garden soil, leaf mold and coarse river sand. Be sure to disinfect it before use.

2. Light: It likes an environment with sufficient light. When cultivating it, it should be placed in a sunny place and allow the plant to get enough sunlight so that the branches and leaves can grow more vigorously. But the light in summer is very strong, so we need to avoid it in time.

3. Watering: It likes to grow in a moist soil environment, so it is necessary to water it regularly during cultivation and keep it moisturized. In spring and autumn, water the plants every two or three days, and more frequently in summer, once a day. In winter, control water appropriately, once every ten days or so, and water accumulation is strictly prohibited.

4. Temperature: Its cold resistance is relatively poor, and the suitable growth temperature is between 15-25 degrees. Even in winter, the temperature must be kept above 15 degrees. It should be moved to a heated place indoors in time and the temperature should be controlled between 15-18 degrees to avoid frostbite.

2. Precautions

The pot needs to be changed regularly during the maintenance period. Under normal circumstances, the pot needs to be changed once every two years. The time should be around May in spring so that it can resume growth faster. In addition, attention should be paid to timely pruning, cutting off diseased and weak branches, duplicate branches, dry branches, etc., to save nutrients and promote the sprouting of new branches.
