Phyllomedusa iheringii occurs in shrubland at elevations less than 500 m (1,600 ft). It is arboreal. The eggs are laid on vegetation above standing water where the tadpoles develop. Phyllomedusa iheringii is common in parts of its range. It might be threatened by pet trade and habitat loss through conversion of native habitat to pastures. It might be present in the Lagoa do Peixe National Park (Brazil).[1]
