Description

Propagating Ixora by stem cutting is a relatively easy process. Here are the steps you can follow: Select a healthy, mature stem from the parent plant that is at least 6 inches long. Use a sharp, sterile knife or pruning shears to cut the stem at a 45-degree angle, just below a node. Remove the leaves from the bottom 2 inches of the stem. Dip the cut end of the stem into rooting hormone powder, which will help stimulate root growth. Plant the stem cutting in a pot filled with a well-draining soil mix. Make a hole in the soil with a pencil or stick and gently insert the stem cutting, pressing the soil around it to secure it in place. Water the cutting thoroughly and place a clear plastic bag over the pot to create a humid environment. This will help retain moisture and encourage root growth. Place the pot in a warm, bright spot, but avoid direct sunlight as this can scorch the cutting. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. After a few weeks, gently tug on the stem cutting to see if it has rooted. If it resists, it means roots have formed. Once the roots have formed, remove the plastic bag and gradually acclimate the plant to its new environment by increasing the amount of light and decreasing the humidity. Transplant the new Ixora plant into a larger pot or into the ground once it has established a strong root system and is showing new growth.
