Water Ixora javanica regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering slightly during cooler winter months.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as they are sensitive to overwatering.

Prune Ixora javanica after flowering to maintain a desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done year-round to shape the plant.

Avoid heavy pruning in cold weather.

Propagate Ixora javanica from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in spring or summer. Cuttings should be 7-10 cm long and treated with rooting hormone.

Plant them in a well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light until roots form.

Repot Ixora javanica every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for acid-loving plants. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.

Water thoroughly after repotting.
