ixora

Question

I have 8 ixora small new plants the leaves are falling off of them but the plant looks green. Just planted them about 3 weeks ago. The leaves are lying on the ground next to the plant and are not eaten.

Answer 1

Much of the US is experiencing a cold snap, and cooler temperatures. If this is likely the issue in your area, then they will recover soon. If this is not the case, then I would look to a pH issue in the soil. They prefer slightly acidic soil, and would enjoy a little iron sulfate to help with that.
