<p>Limau kasturi flourishes in lowland regions and thrives in warm climates, requiring full sun exposure and well-drained, fertile soil. The tree continuously produces flowers and fruits, with a distinct harvest period lasting for 3 months. Its leaves serve as a food source for caterpillars, and the tree can be propagated through seeds or grafting.</p>
