Get ready to be amazed by the African Spear plant, also known as Sansevieria cylindrica (Dracaena angolensis), one of the snake plant varieties and a vibrant member of the Sansevieria genus! It has many other common names, including cylindrical sansevieria, the cylindrical snake plant, the Starfish sansevieria, the bow-string hemp, dragon fingers, and pencil Sansevieria. 

This snake plant does not have ordinary upright, dark-green leaves; they are horizontally striped and have an extraordinary cylindrical fan shape that tapers to a fine point at its tips. The single leaf of this spear sansevieria can grow up to 7 feet tall and up to 1.4 inches wide. 

In the right conditions, these extraordinary Sansevieria plants might surprise you with a small creamy-white flower spike shooting up from their center. While the cylindrical snake plant flower is not the largest or most colorful among its succulent family, it does have a distinct, sweet-smelling, and pleasing fragrance. These delicate white blooms dance in the air like tiny fairies spreading joy and enchantment everywhere they go. It's simply magical! 

Remember, these cylindrical snake plants are mildly toxic for humans and pets, so, it's important to keep them away from children and pets.  It is the simplest way to multiply and propagate Sansevieria cylindrica plants. You can either adopt the division or the leaf-cuttings method of Sansevieria cylindrica propagation. While this slow-growing succulent is known to live longer than most other succulents provided it is kept in a warm and well-lit position. 

Watering Needs 

Native to Africa, the African spear succulent plant doesn't need much water to thrive. In fact, it's best to water the Sansevieria cylindrica plant only when the soil is completely dry, which can be once every two to three weeks. When you do water your Sansevieria plants, be sure to do so thoroughly, allowing the water to soak into the soil. Be careful not to overwater it, as this can cause root rot, which can be fatal to the plant. 

But come wintertime (dormant period), you can cut back to every two weeks or less.  And get this - any type of water (except hard water) will work just fine! So, whether you use tap or filtered, or even rainwater, your cylindrical snake plant will thrive in no time. Just remember to avoid hard water since this African spear plant doesn't like lime very much. 

Light Requirements 

The African spear plant, or Sansevieria cylindrica survives in bright full sunlight but can also tolerate low light conditions. It's best to avoid direct afternoon sunlight, as this can burn the leaves. 

If you're growing the African spear indoors, place it near a north-facing window that gets plenty of bright, indirect light. If you're growing it outdoors, be sure to provide it with some shade during the hottest part of the day. Without enough light, photosynthesis rates drop, leaves become thin, colors appear dull, there is an unhealthy look to the plant, and growth is stunted. 

Optimal Soil Needs 

The Sansevieria cylindrica prefers soil that's well-drained and rich in organic matter. A good potting mix for this African spear should be a combination of peat moss, perlite, and sand. You can also add some compost or aged manure to the soil to provide additional nutrients. Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized succulent potting mix that includes 5 natural substrates with organic mycorrhizae – perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy plants. 

When it comes to fertilizing this Sansevieria, it's best to use a slow-release fertilizer that's high in nitrogen. You can fertilize the plant once a year during the growing season, which is typically from spring to fall. Avoid over-fertilization as it can lead to the death of your stunning succulent. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

Typically grown in hot, arid desert regions, the Sansevieria cylindrica thrives indoors in warm, dry surroundings. If you live in USDA regions 9 to 11, you can also grow these Sansevieria plants outdoors year-round, but they are not cold- or frost-tolerant, so you should plant them indoors or put them in a pot and move them indoors during the winter if you live outside of these regions. 

Keep your African spear plants away from cold, drafty windows and air vents if you are growing them indoors in a cold climate. 

We think you will love this Sansevieria plant – order your very own Sansevieria cylindrica - African spear or cylindrical snake plant today and start enjoying its beauty in no time!

A Perfect 5-Star Refill Solution!
Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow
As a heavy user of my Epson EcoTank printer, I am always on the hunt for reliable, high-quality, and cost-effective refill ink, and the QIOCKTO 522 set is exactly that—a phenomenal find! Effortless & Mess-Free Refilling: The design of these bottles is truly genius. They feature the same key-lock nozzle system as the OEM bottles, meaning they only fit into the correct color tank, and the refill process is completely automatic and totally mess-free. I didn't spill a single drop, which is a huge win for EcoTank owners. Exceptional Print Quality: After refilling, the print results are indistinguishable from the original Epson ink. I've printed everything from detailed photos to plain text documents, and the colors are vibrant, the blacks are deep, and there is no smearing or clogging. My printer recognized the ink perfectly and continued operating without any errors. Incredible Value: This 4-pack offers a massive volume of ink for a fraction of the cost of the brand-name refills. For the quality and the quantity you receive, this is hands-down the best value on the market for keeping your EcoTank running. If you own a compatible EcoTank printer and want to save money without sacrificing quality or ease of use, these QIOCKTO 522 ink bottles are a must-buy!

Easy to use Ink Refill for Epson printers
Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow, Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow
This was a fantastic ink refill for my Epson 522 printer. I had been simply purchasing new cartridges in the past, but I decided to simply try to refill it the current ones that I was using. This was easy to use and surprisingly mess free. It didn't change the compatibility once I refilled the cartridge, which was a worry. The cost was very reasonable considering the expense of buying new cartridges. The quality was high when I started to print, and I was very impressed that there was no smearing or degradation in the ink or the readability. This worked very well, and I am extremely happy with the product. Clean up was trivial. I was amazed that there was no leaking either. Would definitely buy again.
