Himber
Rajania cordata is not found to be commonly grown or naturally occurring in Qatar. However, if it were to be cultivated as an ornamental plant there, it would likely thrive in well-drained soil and partial shade. As a rare and unusual species, its introduction to Qatar's arid climate might require specialized care, including protection from extreme temperatures and adequate watering.
In general, Rajania cordata is known for its heart-shaped leaves and potentially attractive appearance, which could make it a unique addition to gardens in regions with suitable conditions. If grown in Qatar, it would likely be found in controlled environments such as greenhouses or carefully managed garden plots designed to mimic its preferred habitat.
