You should also search the forum for "ferrous sulfate". This topic has been discussed so many times by Izhar bhai and others. Ixora are very delicate plants in terms of iron deficiency. Also search how to cure chlorosis on Ixora on Google.

Qamar, I have never used or seaweeds or extracts. The proper word that you should look is sequestered iron. There is no such term as squeshed.
The best and natural food for plants is khaad. Iron can be supplemented by ferrous sulfate.

There are many a ways to skin a cat. Follow advice of Farooq.

Though this topic has been discussed earlier.... but I have replied to this post in detail, wonder where my post is hiding... anyway, you can try the following:

1) Buy a bottle of battery acid (usually red color bottle) Rs.20-25/bottle
2) Add 3-4 drops of this batter water to one litre of water and always water your ixora with this solution
3) Buy Ferrous sulfate from Jodia bazar Sadar or Barra board Nazimabad chemical shops Rs.80/kg
4) Dissolve 1 table spoon of Ferrous sulfate in this batter acid+water solution of 1 liter and weekly water your ixora with this solution
5) When the green leaves start forming then start using 1 teaspoon of Ferrous sulafte to form the solution and use it twice a month

Seaweed extract has no effects, best buy Growmore 20:20:20 Rs.700/kg from shops in front of Askari park... one teaspoon per litre of water, give this solution weekly and you will get good results...
