I planted an Ixora coccinea, I believe Jungle Flame (?), about 2 years ago in a container. Unfortunately, the plant has not flowered. At present it actually just has a few leaves on the top of a 16” stem. Initially it was in a completely exposed spot, but I moved it underneath the canopy of a large philendron bipinnatifidum where it now receives dappled light and a lot of bright reflection from a huge white wall and window across from the plant. I have never pruned it as it seemed there was nothing to prune. I fed it through the previous summer with Whitney Farms All-Purpose Plant Food. I’m not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions?

Here's a picture of the poor plant. I mentioned above that I have not pruned it. Just having paid closer attention to the image I realize I cut off a few clearly dead stems, last year I think.
