The plant arisaema erubescens has a native range that spans across the temperate Himalayas and subtropical regions of Asia. It is particularly prevalent in mountainous areas and thrives in broadleaf forests. While it originated in these regions, it has not been widely introduced beyond its native range, thus remains confined largely to its natural habitat.

All parts of arisaema erubescens contain calcium oxalate raphides and toxins. Ingesting arisaema erubescens causes inflammation, itchiness, and burning in the oral cavity, potentially leading to dysphonia, convulsion, coma, and respiratory depression. Direct contact can cause numbness and contact dermatitis. Being wary of arisaema erubescens is essential.

Arisaema erubescens is a noxious weed throughout most of Southeastern Asia, particularly in forest and wetland habitats. The biggest concern is the toxicity of this plant. It is severely toxic when ingested, with some people becoming comatose. Touching the plant can also cause irritation to the skin. Another concern is that this plant reproduces negatively in addition to sexual reproduction. This plant spreads vigorously through its roots, forming thick clumps that may crowd out other plants. The most effective control measures for arisaema erubescens have not been thoroughly studied, but care should be taken to avoid contact with its sap when hand-pulling and using herbicides around water sources.
