Once established, S. actinophylla achieves high population densities, altering native plant communities by displacing native species, and changing community structures and ecological functions of invaded habitats (Gucker, 2011; PIER, 2012). [8], With a minimum temperature of 13 °C (55 °F), juvenile specimens are grown in temperate regions as houseplants. Cuttings are also easily taken and rooted.
