==How to plant/cultivate==
Grows on lowlands and up to an elevation of 1000m. Necessary to introduce some soil from well-established stands of Leucaena before new stands of seedling will establish. This is to ensure the presence of a mycorrhizal fungus in the soil that is necessary for the growth of the plant. Seeds need to be pretreated in 80°C water before they will germinate. Thrives with an annual rainfall of between 500 to 2000mm, and a soil pH of 5 to 8 <ref name="How to plant/cultivate"/>
