I have two ixora plants several years old. They put out nice foliage, but unlike my neighbor's ixora plants, they never bloom. I fertilize them but without success. I've found out they are acid loving. Maybe adding acid will help, but they've grown up in the shadow of a pine tree with all the needles, which I imagine provide acid. What to do?

daylight hours are what will determine flowering time, but if your neighbours are flowering I would say it would be lack of potassium in your fertilizer.
get a flower and fruit fertiliser or buy pure sulphate of potash from the garden store and put it on every month

They may need more sun. And are you using the fertilizer that isspecific for ixora or a general fertilizer like ozmocote?
