全日照或半日照環境。植株不耐旱，過於乾燥容易生長不良。土壤過於肥沃容易促進枝葉生長，反而讓開花變少，有此現象可以進行疏枝、疏葉修剪，以控制生長勢並刺激開花。繁殖以空中壓條法為主。

The plant grows in a full sun or partial sun; not drought-tolerant and growing poorly in dry conditions. High fertility can boost the growth of branches and leaves, but at the same inhibit the flowering. To avoid this situation, perform thinning on the branches and leaves to slow down the growth and thus promote flowering. Mainly propagated by air layering.

花色潔白、花香馥郁，為傳統香花，多用於祭祀與身上配掛薰香。葉片濃密，能提供樹蔭，適合做為行道樹與庭園樹，利用盆缽栽培則可使植株小型化。花與葉可萃取精油，用於調製香水與醫藥使用。

Featuring with white flowers and rich fragrance, the flowers are commonly used in traditional ancestor worship rituals or as a hanging incense on the body. The dense foliage provides shades, it’s suitably planted along the streets and in courtyards, or planted in pots to keep it dwarf.
