Ixora (Rugmini) Plant

IThe Ixora plant, also known as Jungle Flame or Flame of the Woods, is a tropical evergreen shrub admired for its vibrant, clustered flowers and glossy, leathery leaves. Originating from South and Southeast Asia, Ixora produces large clusters of tiny, tubular flowers in shades of red, orange, pink, or yellow, making it a popular choice for ornamental gardens and hedges. The plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil. It requires regular watering to maintain its lush appearance but should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. Ixora is also known for its relatively low maintenance and ability to attract pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. With proper care, it can add a splash of tropical color to any garden or landscape year-round.
