Editing Gambeya lacourtiana (section)

=== Seasonal changes ===

The native climate receives about 1,400–1,500 mm of annual rainfall and has a mean annual temperature near 24 °C, with one or two dry seasons.<sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup> As a habitat-level cultivation inference, keep the root zone more consistently moist as a dry season develops rather than treating the species as a drought-deciduous plant; it is usually evergreen.<sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup>

Young plants grow slowly, with an annual increase of only about 6–10 cm during the first three years.<sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup> This reported rate has no independent grower corroboration and should be treated as a planning indication rather than a fixed rate in every climate.
