I love this plant and its flower so much , My mom had one. I bought this plant online , It is supposed to bear red coloured flowers but has not flowered at all. It probably needs more sunlight. Atleast four to five hours of direct sunlight My balcony doesn't get that much sunlight still waiting that it will soon flower.
On the way to our Rice Mill in Ponneri we visited our friend's Mill. The garden there has the most amazing collection of Ixora plants . The red colour flowers has such a velvety pretty colour. I have for ever been taking cuttings when I visit there and have been unsuccessfully trying to propagate it. This time the gardener there found a long stem with some roots on it and he happily pulled it out for me. I brought it home cut most of it and have planted it in a pot. Will love to have it flower in my garden, I am hoping that this time the plant will grow and flower.
