I Was Given A Taiwan Red Ixora For Mother\’s Day. It Is In A Container And It Was Healthy With Many Flowers When I Got It. Now

Question

i t looks dead and the leaves are brittle. Can it be brought back to life?

Answer 1

Probably not. You can give it the scratch test to see if there is green underneath the stems. If so, cut it all back to within a few inches from the soil and maybe new shoots will grow.
