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!

Good quality
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Seems to work as expected and looks consistent in quality. The only problem I have with it, is the opening being too small for my hand when it is running low. I bought a another brand last time with the same quality and I could reach inside. I comfortably fit men's large size gloves, so my hands aren't huge. Maybe a long handle scoop would help...

No taste or texture - it completely dissolves!
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Easy way to add fiber to diet. Stir it in coffee or a non-carbonated cold drink. You can't tell it as even added because it completely dissolves.

Keeps me feeling full. Perfect addition to protein shake
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Tasteless pretty much. I’ve added to coffee, lemonade, cereal with milk, sauces, stir fry, pasta sauce, yogurt. It’s great addition to my protein drink. It helps me both keeping good on the bathroom but it helps me feel more full and snack less. It has been a secret in helping me lose weight.

A Convenient Fiber Supplement- Digestion, Regularity, Microbiome, Satiety, Hair, Skin, Nails
I’ve tried quite a few fiber supplements over the years, and this one stands out mostly because it combines digestive support with beauty-focused ingredients instead of being just another plain fiber gummy. The formula includes inulin and chicory root fiber, along with a fairly large probiotic blend containing multiple strains like Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Bacillus coagulans. That combination makes sense since prebiotic fiber and probiotics are often paired together to help support digestive balance and regularity. The added hair, skin, and nail ingredients are also interesting here. Biotin is commonly used for supporting stronger nails and healthier-looking hair, while collagen peptides and keratin are popular ingredients for skin elasticity and hair structure. Vitamin C helps support collagen production naturally, and Vitamin E adds antioxidant support. The apple cider vinegar and saw palmetto are smaller additions, but they round out the formula nicely for overall wellness support. One thing I appreciated is that these are gummies instead of powders or large capsules. Fiber supplements can sometimes feel like a chore, especially the gritty drink mixes, so having a chewable option made it easier to stay consistent. The blueberry flavor was actually pleasant and not overly artificial. Texture-wise, they were softer than expected and easy to chew. As far as results, I mainly noticed gradual digestive benefits after about a week or so of consistent use. Things felt more regular and less sluggish overall, especially on days where my diet wasn’t as balanced as it should have been. The fiber content is fairly substantial for gummies, so I’d definitely recommend drinking enough water with them because increasing fiber too quickly can sometimes cause bloating at first. Starting with a smaller serving may help if you’re not used to fiber supplements. I can’t say I noticed dramatic changes with hair, skin, or nails during the time I used them, but those ingredients usually take longer to show visible effects anyway. Even without obvious cosmetic changes, the combination of biotin, collagen, keratin, and antioxidants gives the formula a more well-rounded feel compared to standard digestive gummies. Another positive is the allergen-friendly formula. Being gluten-free and free from dairy, wheat, peanuts, and eggs makes it accessible for many people with dietary restrictions. The overall ingredient profile feels thoughtfully put together instead of overloaded with unnecessary fillers. Overall, I think this works best for someone looking for an easy daily fiber supplement that also offers some additional wellness support beyond digestion alone. The biggest benefit for me was the digestive regularity and convenience factor. The beauty-support ingredients are a nice bonus, even if they may require long-term consistent use before noticeable results appear. **As always, results can vary from person to person. Consulting a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement is advisable. Keep well (:
