Temperature
The natural habitat of Gordon's ivesia is an environment with temperature fluctuations between 41 and 77 °F (5 to 25℃). Its growth seems to be highly affected by this temperature range, hinting at a considerable impact of temperature on its proliferation. During different seasonal changes, it might be beneficial to modify the temperatures to coincide with its preferred range for optimum growth.
Fertilizer
Typically for Gordon's Ivesia, a solitary fertilizer application in the spring season should be adequate, but for optimal growth, more frequent feedings might be beneficial.
