Siam Ribbon Ixora is somewhat rare and not a well known type of Ixora that grows smaller and more compact than some, but a bit larger than others, with a mature size of about 2 to 2 ½ feet. It is likely native to Southeastern Asia. It is also commonly called Hindu Rope Ixora and Coralillo

The leaves are small, and grow tightly to the stems and have a unique and unusual ruffled edge which accounts for the common names.

It blooms prolifically throughout the warm season with large flower heads made up of hundreds of tiny star-shaped florets ranging from bright scarlet to coral red orange.

Use the Siam Ribbon Ixora as a low growing hedge, mass plant it for statement and impact, use it an accent or lower tier in layered beds or incorporate it with other perennials in mixed beds. It can also be grown as a potted plant indefinitely.

Ixora coccinea, commonly called Jungle Geranium or Flame of the Woods, is a tropical evergreen shrub native to Asia, prized for its glossy leaves and large, rounded clusters of flowers. Siam Ribbon (Hindu Rope) is a sought-after cultivar of I. coccinea. It features unique, narrow, rope-like, and often twisted leaves, offering year-round texture and interest. Flowers are large clusters of tiny star-shaped florets in orange-toned bright red. Care: Requires acidic soil (pH 5.5−6.5), consistent moisture, and high humidity. Fertilize regularly with an acid-specific fertilizer to prevent leaf yellowing (chlorosis). Best placed in full sun to partial shade. Indoor Growing: While Ixoras can be grown in pots indefinitely, they are not well-suited for the average indoor environment. They require the full spectrum of light for 4 to 6 hours daily, warm temperatures with at least a 10*F day/night differential, high humidit,y and mild chilling during winter dormancy to produce flowers. Climate: Ixoras are tropical plants best suited for outdoor growing in USDA Growing Zones 9 through 11. They can be grown as annuals in colder regions or overwintered indoors with proper care and environmental modifications. Some varieties may go dormant in winter, but they are not root-hardy and must be protected from cold temperatures.

Best placed in full sun to partial shade. While Ixoras can be grown in pots indefinitely, they are not well-suited for the average indoor environment. They require abundant direct sunlight, high humidity, and specific environmental conditions to thrive. In colder climates, it is best to enjoy them as a seasonal container plant. Modifications are typically necessary for successful indoor overwintering.
