I guess you are right Anas; the original poster is probably referring to Ixora. But it is a slightly difficult plant.

[AnasAsifa]

I misspelled it ixoras are very sensitive to higher pH soils. So it is slightly kind of a challenge to grow near foundations. It'll turn yellow very quickly.

A very common plant in Karachi and grows well here with lots of blooms.. any plant turning yellow will need a few days watering with Ferrous sulfate solution (1 tbl spoon in 4 liters water) and they will become green again...

yes this is the plant..thanks anas. .......well, izhar how many hours of sunlight do it need?

[Izhar]

6 hours at least direct sun...
