How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water the plant regularly, With a deep soaking about once a week and less during the winter, and keep the soil moist but not dripping wet.
Pruning
Ixora ‘Nora Grant’ is a large maturing plant, easily reaching 12 to 15 feet tall. To encourage more blooming, tight pruning should be avoided or at least stopped as the weather warms to let the Ixora "fuzz" out, blooms occur on new wood. Plants get old, large shrubs pruned short have a life span of 7 to 10 years in the landscape. Eventually, the best treatment for old, spotty Ixora is to replace them with more adapted species.
Fertilizer
Proper fertilization, pruning, and placement can help Ixora survive in the landscape. A good palm fertilizer such as 8-2-12-4, the fourth number on a fertilizer bag is Mg (magnesium), with chelated micro nutrients and 100 percent slow release N, K and Mg is recommended, applied four times times per year.
