Morinda officinalis likes a warm, sunny, humid climate with abundant rainfall and even distribution, and is afraid of cold and frost. It grows vigorously in the warm range of 20 ~ 25℃, and when it is below 0℃ or in case of low temperature frost, it often leads to hibernating, even frostbite or freezing to death. It has strong adaptability to light, and wild Morinda citrifolia grows in shady valley forests and sunny places.

However, from the results of cultivation experiments, it is appropriate to shade in front and sun in the back, and the shading degree in seedling stage should be controlled above 70% ~ 80%; After the seedling is grown, it is controlled at about 30%. As a deep-rooted plant, the fleshy roots can reach more than 1 m in the soil, which requires a deep, loose, fertile soil layer, rich humus and well-drained slightly acidic sand or loam. If the soil is barren and dry, the plants grow poorly, and the roots are thin, the yield is low and the quality is poor.
