Best Flowering plant for Beginners IXORA

-
Hey buddies, thinking of starting a garden in your backyard (or) balcony (or) terrace, but not sure where and how to start that..!!!!

Are you a begginer....

Then guys trust me, this post would definitely help you to start your dream garden...

In my childhood days I remember enjoying the colourful flowers on my way to school...

I hope you too remember tasting the honey of these flowers like my cute little honey bee friends 🐝. Then it's time to get back to those days... 

Yes you read that right...

Why don't we grow those flowers ourself and enjoy it's beauty day-in & day-out.

Let me take you back to the nostalgic memory lane of "that bunch of flowers from a single stem", also we never know the name of that but loved the nectar of it... the sweet of the ever appealing "IXORA"

For the next 10-15 mins we are gonna see on What IXORA is? How can we grow them within our premises? and also What are their benefits?

Let's start our Ixora journey now..📝


So initially What is IXORA?


   It is basically a tropical to sub-tropical small trees/shurbs which is commonly known for its evergreen leaves and lustrous flowers.

   As we all know, the flowers of these plants grow as a bunch which is an add on beauty.

If you are still not able to recollect what Ixora is, then check out there names in other languages

Tamil - Idli poo / Vetchi poo
            இட்லி பூ / வெட்சி பூ
Hindi - Rugmini
            रुग्मिनी 
Malayalam - Chethi / Thechi
                       ചെത്തി / തെച്ചി

How to propagate IXORA?


   You can buy a plant from a near by nursery or you can even grow your own Ixora from cuttings. 🌿🍃

Colors of IXORA!!🌈


   You can find Ixora in many colors. The most common ones are
  • Red❤
  • White🤍
  • Pink 💗
  • Yellow💛

Being a begginer can I go for IXORA..!!?🙄🤔


   The main reason for suggesting this plant for begginers is because it is a low maintenance plant and longs for a comparatively less attention and care.

   All you need to do is to make sure that you prun it on a regular basis to have a lustrous plant instead of tree. You can even re-use the cuttings to propagate the plant.

   Another important thing to remember is that Ixora thrives a pH level of 5, almost an acidic situation which requires some fertilizer management. 
Don't lose your hope on reading my previous statement, simple organic compost, well rotted manure or peat Moses can help you lower the soil pH level.

    Also place it in full-partial sunlight for maximum flowering.

Till now we checked on what we have to give to this colorfull plant, but do you know they gives us some unexpected benifits!!!!

     Yes guys, they give us so many benifits, why don't we have a quick check on that too...


1. Do you have a Red Eye problem👁️...!!!
       No worries, use the Ixora flower extract as an eye drop. This helps to cure your problem.

2. Searching for something to Treat your pimples and improve complexion...!!!
      Here you have a solution for that, apply some ground Ixora paste which helps you treat your skin related problems.
     You can even use this for curing skin disease and allergies for Infants.

3. Suffering from Dandruff problem...!!!
      Just add some Ixora decoction to a few drops of Coconut oil to treat dandruff and to have a healthy scalp.

4. Thinking how to treat Irregular periods...!!
       Drink a glass of Ixora diffused water once a day to help yourself from Irregular periods.
       This Ixora diffused water also helps you to treat fever and headache.


5. More than everything, my favourite benifit is the plant as such, it gives you such a colourful look to your garden.
     The flowers can be used for worship or a home decor.


Why wait guys, come and join me in enjoying the step by step growth of this exotic ornamental flowering plant.

We all know that, a Valentine is someone who we love or to whom we are attached to.   And we also know that Valentine’s Day is celebrated on 14 th February every year. But do we know that this day is also known as Saint Valentine’s Day, named after Saint Valentine…!!!??? Here I’ll share a few facts what I know, about this day.                 It seems that, the ancient Romans might be responsible for the name of this day of love. V alentine, a holy priest in Rome was executed by Emperor Claudius II on Feb 14, in the 3 rd Century . During Claudius rule, Rome was involved in many unpopular campaigns. This made the emperor to build a strong army, which came out to be very difficult as he believed that Roman men were unwilling to join the army as they had a stronger attachment with their family.                 In order to build his strong army, Claudius decided to stop all the marriages and engage
