Comments: It is estimated that there has been at least a 30% population reduction in the past 100 years due to collecting and habitat loss. A further 20% reduction is anticipated in the next 10 years due to planned land clearing for industry and housing, as well as persistent medicinal plant harvesting. It is popular as a house plant due to its general hardiness and resistance to drought.
