<p>Pinang Merah thrives in its natural habitat near water sources, such as the sea, rivers, freshwater, and peat swamp forests. In this environment, the plant is pollinated by insects and its fruits are consumed by birds. The moth species <i>Parasa lepida</i> utilizes Pinang Merah as a host-plant. Propagation of Pinang Merah can be done through seed or sucker, with the latter method being more efficient due to the palm's tendency to produce numerous suckers.</p>
