Threats to Leonohebe cupressoides

Habitat depletion
- This appears to be the key factor in the decline of Leonohebe cupressoides, and agriculture and human-induced fire are the main causes of its depletion.
Competition
- Leonohebe cupressoides does not compete well with introduced plants for nutrients and this limits seed germination.
Predation
- Grazing stock and introduced pests such as rabbits and hares eat juvenile plants.
