Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert

The habitat of this species is reportedly affected by clear cutting for urban development (Estrada-Castillón et al. 2012, 2015); however, this doesn't seem to directly affect the species' distribution area. The main threat to this species is illegal extraction with national and international ornamental purposes.
