<p>Bungor thrives in open areas such as secondary or disturbed forests, grasslands, and particularly along riverbanks. It favors moderately fertile, well-drained soils. Once established, the plant demonstrates drought tolerance but flourishes with consistent watering. Propagation occurs through seeds, stem cuttings, root cuttings, and marcotting. The flowers are pollinated by insects.</p>
