Red Ixora


 


          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.

   I live in Chennai and unfortunately my balcony receives direct sunlight only for a few hours a day and if that is not enough . A tree on the opposite side of the road has it branches almost near my balcony not allowing Sunlight to a large section of the balcony.       Here is my propagation station with cutting from a croton plant I just pruned , A money plant and a croton cutting from a huge plant I saw when I was travelling. They all seem to be good so far. Can see small roots starting and this is the first time I am propagating crotons in water so excited to see how it goes.
