In its native habitats, frog-fruit can be found in moist sandy or rocky areas and is adaptable to most soils. It prefers a moderately fertile soil, but succeeds in poor soils. Preferring poor sun, when grown in shade the plant makes a lot of vegetative growth but does not produce many blooms. The compact round bloom clusters are about 0.5 to 0.8 inch in diameter.
