Ten species of fungi have been found on the Asiatic dayflower, four of which can infect the plant, while 12 species of insects are known to be associated with it. Two of the fungi, "Kordyana commelinae" and "Phyllosticta commelinicola", are thought to be host specific with the Asiatic dayflower. Of the ten fungi seven are Basidiomycota and three are Ascomycota. Nine of the 12 insects associated with the plant are beetles, seven of which are in the genus "Lema", while the other two are in the families Hispidae and Pentatomidae. The remaining three insects include one species of moth, "Pergesa acteus", and two true bugs, namely "Aphis commilinae" and "Aeschrocoris ceylonicus". Important pollinators include the Asian honeybee, "Apis cerana", syrphid fly, "Episyrphus balteatus", and the bumble bee species "Bombus diversus".
