Ixora Maui Red

Question

When the bloom starts turning brown do I cut the bloom off? Will more blooms start blooming?

Answer 1

Removing the brown flowers is not necessary for the plant's health but will improve the plant's attractiveness. Many plants will indeed produce more blooms if the wilted, brown flowers are removed, so this is worth a try.
