<p>Kelat nasi thrives in a range of habitats, from lowland to montane forests, including secondary growth, swamps, riverbanks, and coastal areas. Its blossoms produce nectar that entices a variety of insects, such as bees, butterflies, and the day-flying moth Syntomis huebneri. Additionally, it serves as a larval host for the Copper Flash butterfly (Rapala pheretima sequeira). The fruits are a source of nourishment for birds and small mammals, and the plant can be propagated through seeds, stem cuttings, or air-layering.</p>
