Plant Description:

Ixora odorata, also known as the white ixora, is a tropical flowering shrub native to South Asia. It is known for its clusters of small, white flowers that have a sweet fragrance. The white ixora is a popular ornamental plant, often grown in gardens and used as a hedge or as a potted plant. It can grow up to 4 meters tall and has glossy, dark green leaves. The white ixora is a relatively easy plant to care for and is tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions. It is best grown in well-draining soil in a sunny location and should be watered regularly to keep the soil moist. It is also recommended to fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and flowering.

To care for a white ixora, follow these guidelines:

  • Plant in well-draining soil in a sunny location.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering.
  • Fertilize once a month during the growing season with a balanced fertilize.
  • Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage new growth.
  • Protect the plant from extreme temperatures and strong winds.
  • Pests and diseases are not a major concern for white ixora, but watch out for aphids, mealybugs, and scale insects, which can be controlled with insecticides or by removing them by hand.

By following these care guidelines, your white ixora should thrive and produce beautiful white flowers throughout the year.
