<p>Clavellino flourishes in its natural habitat within forested areas near riverbanks, in valleys, or on mountain slopes reaching heights of up to 1000 meters. When cultivated, it is adaptable to both full sunlight and partial shade. This plant thrives in well-draining soil with abundant organic content, requiring regular watering during dry periods. Its vibrant flowers are a magnet for bees, birds, and butterflies, while its foliage provides sustenance for caterpillars. Occasionally, Clavellino may be troubled by white flies and scale insects. Propagation is commonly achieved through either seeds or stem cuttings.</p>
