Cultivation

The plant requires high light intensities for growth, thus it is usually found growing wild on river banks and in disturbed areas. A dioecious species, both male and female forms need to be grown if fruit and seed are required. A monocarpic species, it can grow for many years without flowering, then flowers prolifically before setting seed and dying.
