<p>Kulai thrives in rich soil found at an elevation of 1000 meters, tolerating a variety of climates. This night-blooming plant is pollinated by bats and its flat winged seeds are dispersed by the wind. Propagation is achieved through seed germination, which can be accelerated by pre-soaking in warm water for 24 hours, resulting in sprouting within 2-3 weeks.</p>
