My Maui Red Ixora is blooming. It's going with the rest of my Ixoras, in the ground on the side of the house. Photo taken Oct. 22, 2012.

This plant needs ironite or it'll yellow and fish emulsion. It cannot tolerate chemical fertilizers, though. I killed my old one a few years ago with chelated 15-15-15. The ones I have in the ground, I gave just a few pellets. They are okay.
This Ixora is going in the ground with the others today. :>)

Maybe I should put mine in the ground.?!
Can it deal with low temps? How low?
I had my plant indoors last winter.

Remember: Ixora coccinea is tropical (native to southern India and Sri Lanka) and hardy to around 40ºF (4.5ºC), it needs to be kept on the dry side during winter. It also dislikes daytime temps below 68ºF (20ºC).
Good luck with your Ixora! :>)
