Origin and Habitat: Aptenia cordifolia comes naturally to the eastern coastal region of the Cape Province and Kruger National Park in the Transvaal, South Africa, probably only in King William's Town, Stutterheim, Komgha, Transkei, Eastern Cape, and Port Shepstone, KwaZulu-Natal. It is widely introduced and often naturalized elsewhere in the world.
Habitat and ecology: It grows naturally in shady places, often under trees. It is planted in parking lot planters, parkways and home gardens, but easily it escapes from cultivation and spreads in disturbed places, on margins of coastal wetlands and on embankments along irrigation waterways. With ample water availability it overwhelms all neighboring vegetation, climbing over anything in its path, so it can easily spread into and dominate more natural riparian and wetland areas. Due to its vigour it can even overgrow other invasive monoculture like Vinca major. It is known to spread vegetatively by rooting of branches. It is marketed as a fire-resistant and can over-summer without water and then grow vigorously during the rainy season, although constantly wet soil can cause it to rot. Seed dispersal capability is not known.
