Most of the plants occur in habitats that have already been highly modified, or that are threatened by housing developments, road construction and maintenance, conversion to pastureland, and by pedestrian, horse, and off-road vehicular traffic. The plant's attractiveness also exposes it to the possibility of being taken for horticultural purposes. A final factor is that the species rareness makes it all the more vulnerable to disturbance and natural disasters. Fifteen of the 16 known habitat sites for Lupinus aridorum are located on private property in areas that are undergoing rapid development. Preservation of the species will require finding a means to preserve a sufficient number of these sites to ensure the species long-term survival.
Management needs, if any, are unknown.
