Frequently asked questions
Ixora Chinensis
Why are leaf veins green but the leaf pale?
Nutrient uptake can be affected by unsuitable root pH or wet roots. Check those conditions before simply adding more feed.
Should I shear it flat while flower buds form?
Clipping shoot tips can remove the developing flower clusters. Shape lightly after flowering instead.
Can ordinary alkaline garden soil be used?
These plants need an acidic root environment. Test unsuitable soil or use a suitable potting mix in a separate container.
Do yellow leaves always mean no fertiliser?
No. Root wetness, pH and other stress can affect nutrient uptake. Check those before increasing feed.
