According to the SANBI Red List Assessment, this species is of Least Concern as it is widespread and harvested for trade at low volumes that are not thought to be causing declines in its population (Raimondo et al. 2007). This exploitation extent was recorded in 2007 and current levels are not known. There have been recorded confiscations of species of the Pachypodium genus from illegal collection (Confiscation List (2019-2021) provided by SANParks Sendelingsdrift Botanic Garden).
