In primary or disturbed sites in mixed dipterocarp and swamp forests up to 700 m altitude. Often on alluvial sites such as riversides, but also common along roadsides on sandy soils. It is common on clay, loamy, and sandy soils, although clearly prefers the latter, which may in part be due to the water status of those soils, as it is also quite a common colonist of wet gullies along roadsides, alluvial forest areas, and the margins of degraded peat swamp forests.
