According to the SANBI Red List Assessment, this species is Vulnerable as it is known from five to ten locations and is threatened with removal of wild individuals for horticultural purposes as well as potentially threatened by mining and expanding development (von Staden et al. 2008). This genus is currently in demand and of popular interest in international horticultural trade, as indicated by several online marketplace, e-commerce and auction sites. This suggests that this genus may be targeted and that endangered species of this genus may be at risk to over-exploitation.
