Plants from this species ...
... are of average ornamental value 
In Cairns in Australia they need little care and grow normal.
I have three plants of this species, all originally sourced from Cape York Peninsula from far north eastern Australia. They have been planted in a botanic gardens some 2500km further south (however receiving 75 inches a year). They have grown steadily within a semi shady site with rainforest plants. The colder weather seems to have slowed their growth with 1 plant being smaller than the other two. After 10 years the two largest are about 2m tall with half a dozen basal shoots, but havent flowered yet.Cheers from Kris
