The genus 'dipterocarpus', comprising large-scale trees found in tropical Asia, requires a high-light and moist environment with tropical temperature tolerance and well-draining soil. The largest challenges faced by 'dipterocarpus' include pests like beetles and borers, diseases like stem rot, and sensitivity to cold. Seasonally, 'dipterocarpus' needs additional care during dry spells with increased watering, while construction of a wind barrier is advisable during windy seasons. The genus is otherwise quite resilient, making it a rewarding choice for experienced and committed horticulturists.
