them? I am trying to grow them as a hedge.
The most common reason for this is soil pH. They will not flower, or thrive at all above a pH of 5. They require very acidic soil.
I would recommend testing your soil, and only using acid-loving plant nutrients. You may have to adjust your soil, since most will be at a pH of 6.5 to 7, naturally.

You can propagate by stem cuttings. Here is how:

Yes. If you have a sunny spot indoors would be ideal. Bring it inside before the temperature hits 50 degrees F. The next choice would be near a window in the garage where it can get some light. Water sparingly during the winter.

will the Ixora survive and if so what type of care will I need to provide next spring, i.e cut back, fertilizer etc. Thank you
Your plant cannot tolerate freezing weather, so you are right - you should bring it in for the winter and put it back out after there's no danger of frost. It may lose a few leaves but it should come back in the spring. This plant likes its soil to be somewhat acidic. You can fertilize it with mulch or bark or other organic materials or use ornamental plant food from your nursery.
Here's an article about Ixora:

My Ixora needs to be repotted. It has not yet bloomed here in Michigan. Is this the right time of year to repot it? Thank you for your assistance.
Since, I assume, this is an indoor specimen for much of the year, it will be safe to do so at just about any time. Just make sure to only go only a few inches larger on all sides to avoid problems with overwatering. Also, make sure not to bury it past the original planting depth.

I just planted 10 Maui reds in my newly established flower bed and 1 of my reds is loosing it's leaves and it's flowers are wilting and turning brown. Some of the others have flowers that are kind of wilting it not near like this one. Is there a reason this could be happening? I used miracle grow ground soil for all of my plants when planting and I water them at night and only for the first 3 days. Then I fertilized them with some miracle grow I attached to the water hose.
It is likely that over fertilizing and overwatering is leaving them in shock. They only need to be watered as the top inch of soil starts to dry out, completely, until established. After this watering should be done once the soil dries, thoroughly, down to about 3 or 4 inches, at least.
Fertilization should be done once they are fully established in the soil to avoid burning the new roots that are forming, and should only be done when a soil test reveals a deficiency.

I am not sure why I am having this black stuff on the plants, and I have cut the two branches off of the Ixora Maui. I can't find any information on why this is happening.
Unfortunately, you photo did not come through. I am unable to see the damage.
My best guess without seeing the damage will be a fungal infection. Fungicides will be necessary should this be the case.
