The plant sprouts again after it has burned. The seeds are stored in a toll on the female plant and only fall to the ground when the flower has ripened and is spread by wind. The plant is unisexual and there are separate plants with male and female flowers, which are pollinated by insects. The plant grows mainly in moist habitats such as river beds.^[1]
