A plant of the humid, lowland tropical forests, it is found in areas where the mean annual rainfall is in excess of 1,500mm, though more commonly where it exceeds 2,500mm[1]. Often found on very acid soils in the wild, but it has also been recorded on sandy, loamy as well as lateritic soils[1]. Plants ususally regenerate well in the shade of the forest canopy[1].
