<p>Kelumpang jari thrives in semi-open tropical forests and coastal regions. It can be propagated through seeds or stem cuttings, with seeds exhibiting a long shelf life. In urban settings, this species should be cultivated in fertile, well-draining soil that is consistently kept moist and allows for ample growth space. Additionally, applying mulch around the base will aid in retaining soil moisture.</p>
