Propagation can be done through stem cuttings or seeds. In cultivation, oberhaeuseri is often grown as a houseplant or in terrariums due to its specific environmental needs. It requires high humidity and indirect light.

The genus to which oberhaeuseri belongs is known for its diverse species found in tropical and subtropical regions. Plants in this family are often valued for their attractive foliage and vibrant flowers, making them popular ornamentals. Further research into the specific ecological role and conservation status of oberhaeuseri is ongoing.
