Bruguiera requires semi-aquatic conditions, thriving in high-humidity areas with full to partial sunlight. Optimal growth occurs in well-drained, acidic soils with regular inundation by brackish or saline water. Common challenges include susceptibility to root rot in poorly drained soils, pest infestations such as caterpillars, and sensitivity to cold temperatures. Seasonally, bruguiera demands minimal care adjustments, tolerating wetter conditions during rainy seasons, while in cooler months, it requires protection from frost.
