Growth—

Pinanga caesia is a plant of the humid tropics, though it is somewhat cold tolerant and can also succeed in a frost-free subtropical climate. Plants can handle occasonal short periods with temperatures down to around 1°c with little leaf damage. Grows best in a moist but well drained soil with filtered sun, though it can tolerate full sun. Requires a position sheltered from cold winds.
