Description
Ixora is a tropical to semi-tropical evergreen shrub, Ixora shrubs are known for their large corymbs of bright florets.
The plants possess leathery leaves, ranging from 3 to 6 inches in length. The leaves of Ixora Frozen Star, under the combined action of chlorophyll and artificial, seem to be colored by batik layer by layer, and each piece has a similar but never identical texture.
Inflorescences of Ixora Frozen Star are born at the ends of the branches, and each flower, like a genus plant, consists of a slender sepal tube and a stretched corolla. Although the flowers are small, when they are fully bloomed, they are red and white (pink), and they are also delicately beautiful. Under the cover of emerald green, it exudes a porcelain-like luster, like a small red star frozen in snow.

Environment
Plant Ixora in moist, organic enriched and well-drained acidic soil, and where there is abundant sunlight and humidity for optimum growth and flowering. Remove flowers when withered and dried leaves if any.
Prune annually to keep bush in shape or to encourage flowering, instead of repeatedly shearing off branch tips which will inhibit emerging flower buds.
Feed monthly with a water-soluble fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants.
It is susceptible to yellowing of leaves (chlorosis) when grown in alkaline soil.
Landscape Uses
Excellent for hedges, screens or massed in garden beds and borders
