How to Plant Maui Yellow Ixora

Choose the Right Spot

For vibrant blooms, plant your Maui Yellow Ixora in a spot receiving bright, indirect sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. Well-drained, acidic soil (pH 5.5 to 6.5) is crucial to prevent root rot.

Measure the Space

Mature Maui Yellow Ixora reach 3-4 feet tall and wide. Space them 4 feet apart for individual shrubs or plant them closer to create a denser hedge.

Dig the Hole

Dig a hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball of your Maui Yellow Ixora and just as deep. Loosen the surrounding soil to encourage healthy root development beyond the planting area.

Plant It

Carefully remove your Maui Yellow Ixora from its container and gently loosen any circling roots. Place the shrub in the hole, ensuring the root crown sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole and tamp gently to eliminate air pockets.

Water Thoroughly

Water your newly planted Maui Yellow Ixora deeply, soaking the soil around the base until water runs freely from the drainage area. Consistent moisture is crucial during the first year to establish a strong root system.

Mulch and Care

Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant, keeping it a few inches from the trunk. Replenish mulch as needed throughout the year. Water regularly, especially during hot weather, to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
