Haworthia Turgida

The Ixora (Rugmini) Plant, also known as West Indian Jasmine, is a tropical evergreen shrub celebrated for its vibrant orange, star-shaped flowers. Native to South and Southeast Asia, this plant adds a splash of color to gardens, patios, and indoor spaces.

Haworthia Turgida

The Haworthia Turgida is a small succulent that grows in rosettes of glossy light green leaves with a crystalline texture that makes the leaves look almost translucent. The leaf tips are curved and translucent at the top with green striations. These succulent plants do very well indoors with adequate levels of bright indirect light, growing up to a size of 4 inches. In ideal conditions, the succulents even produce white tubular flowers on upright wiry, woody stems.

Light and Watering

Light: Thrives in bright, direct sunlight with at least 6 hours of sun daily.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering. Water when the top inch of soil is dry.

Soil and Fertilization

Ixora prefers slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Fertilize every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season with an acid-loving plant fertilizer.

Temperature and Humidity

Ixora thrives in warm temperatures (60°F to 85°F) and high humidity. Use a humidifier or a water tray to maintain humidity indoors.

Pruning and Care

Regular pruning after flowering promotes bushier growth and more blooms. Keep an eye out for pests and maintain proper air circulation to prevent leaf spot.

Propagation and Use

Propagate via stem cuttings in spring or early summer. The Ixora is ideal for hedges, borders, or container gardening, adding vibrant color to any space.
