Super King Tropical Ixora Live Plant Flowering Shrub Large Clusters of Brilliant Red Flowers Starter Size 4 Inch Pot

Ixoras are a genus of flowering tropical plants in the Rubiaceae family. They are native to Tropical Asia and are known by many common names like West Indian Jasmine, Jungle Flame, and Jungle Geranium. They exist in a broad array of sizes and colors and are widely used in tropical landscaping due to their extended blooming periods and long-lasting, colorful blooms.

Super King is aptly named, as it is indeed the King of the Ixoras. The bright, long-lasting, super-sized, scarlet, crimson red flower heads, comprised of hundreds of small, multi-toned star-shaped florets, can easily reach more than 8 inches across. It makes a grand statement in any tropical landscape. The plants are medium to large, branched shrubs with prominently red-veined, long, pointed ovals in light to medium olive-toned green.

Plants begin to flower in mid-spring to early summer in repeating cycles throughout the warm season with a peak cycle in early to mid-fall.

Care: When mature, plant in fertile, well-draining, acidic soil or potting media in full sun to very light shade. Water as needed to maintain consistent soil moisture, but avoid overwatering. Overly saturated plants become spotted, weak, thin, and fail to flower as expected. Feed a good quality, slow-release, bloom-boosting fertilizer initially and repeat annually in spring. Prune after flowering to control size and shape.

Indoor Growing: This tropical plant grows large, requires the full spectrum of light 4 to 6 hours daily, high humidity, and warm temperatures with at least a 10°F day/night differential. So not well-suited for the average indoor growing space.

Climate: Super King Ixora is a tropical plant and is recommended for growing in USDA Zones 9, 10, and 11. Protection from cold temperatures is required in all zones for the longest life, best appearance, and earliest flowering. Note that Zone recommendations are based on average temperatures and do not consider factors such as humidity, rainfall, or day/night temperature variations.. Every growing environment has unique challenges.
