Thank you, I wintered it over in my basement, and most of its leaves have fallen off. Now that it is spring, I want to see if I can bring her back to life, but was not sure where to start. Fertilize?
I'm not sure about when to fertilize because I'm so bad about fertilizing any of my plants. Ixora do prefer acid soil and spring would probably be a good time to begin feeding lightly. Use a plant food/fertilizer specifically for acid loving plants like azaleas and gardenia. I'd start with 1/4 to 1/2 the strength that's listed on the label.
If the plant has been in your basement all winter, gradually move it to a sunny spot. Ixora are landscape plants grown in full sun here in Florida; they will bloom in bright shade but produce more profuse blooms when grown in full sun.
