<p>The plant thrives in primary and secondary rainforests, coastal forests, and along riverbanks, as well as near freshwater swamps and peat swamps. Its floral characteristics suggest a combination of insect and wind pollination. The fruits serve as a food source for bulbuls (songbirds) and potentially fruit-eating bats, aiding in the plant's dispersal.</p>
