Growth—

Species in this genus generally grow well in most moist, well-dained soils and a sunny position[1] Branches do not have dormant buds and so will not resprout if cut back into the old wood[2]. A dioecious species, both male and female forms need to be grown if fruits and seed are required.

Propagation

Seed - best pre-soaked for 24 hours prior to sowing[3]. Cite as: Tropical Plants Database, Ken Fern. tropical.theferns.info. 2026-02-20. <tropical.theferns.info/viewtropical.php?id=Pandanus+simplex>
