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.

Book Review
Format: Paperback
{My thoughts} – We meet Danielle when her family is going through her great Aunts belongings. They are fighting over who gets what and who can take care of what it is that they get. Her great Aunt didn’t put a lot of thought into how terrible many of her family members are when it comes to possessions. She ends up finding her great Aunt’s scrapbooks and actually manages to keep a couple of them. When she gets back home she draws in one and brings to life Prince Neptune. This is when she learns that the sketchbook has magical properties. She is your average 7th grader just trying to find her way in a world of chaos. She wants to make friends and be popular but she is one of the least popular people in her school. She eventually draws and creates the perfect best friend and they do things together and make things work out, but then Madison learns she has freewill and she ditches Danielle for awhile. They do eventually come back together, but it isn’t until things get really rocky for Danielle and her other classmates because of the stunts that Prince Neptune pulls. This is a well written graphic novel and I really enjoyed reading through it as well as looking at the images within it’s pages. I enjoyed the storyline, because it helps to show children that it’s okay to not be one of the popular crowd, that you can make friends and blossom. Even if it’s done in some unconventional ways. I admit I’d read the second book in this series first, but it didn’t really skew my perception. It worked out alright and I look forward to more books in this series coming out in the future! They are worth the read and have good moral lessons within their pages. I am sure many children can relate to the characters within the books.

A lovable graphic novel!
Format: Kindle
Hello! I loved this book! Ive read it so many times and recently purchaced the sequel as well. Heres the basic story layout (spoilers ahead, read if you dare!) Dany is a girl who has a few friends that she hung out with in sixth grade. But shes transitioning tol seventh grade now, and she doesnt have any friends in her classes and lunch wave. But one day she finds a magical sketchbook that belonged to her aunt, but she doesnt know its magic, until she draws thehead of her favorite character (Prince Neptune) from a comic she reads called Solar Sisters, and his head comes to life! So she ends up drawing her perfect best friend: Shes popular, funny, gets good grades, and has good comebacks. Her name is Madison. She and Dany have the best time together, buying stuff at the mall with unlimited cash, and flying around town with their magic rings (thanks, magic sketchbook!) until when Dany brings Prince Neptune to school, during a big game at their gym, he busts in with a full body and takes over the school! Im not telling you the ending, get it for yourself and find out! Its a great book that explains all of middle school/ juinor highs struggles! Ive read it a ton of times! A must buy! GachaMemer33, OUT! :D

Good but eh...
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the book, I like how its different from other books, but when i reread the book, it seemed so cringey that she would like an evil character. I mean come on! Of course he was going become evil at once in the book, why else would he be a character?! It kind of has a predictable plot. So.... ya! (BTW, thats just my own opinons!)

Great GN about friendship w/ a supernatural twist
Format: Paperback
This full-color graphic novel is about a 7th grade girl named Dany. She has just started middle school and is pretty lonely. Her friends are in different classes now and have new in-jokes and stories that she doesn’t get anymore. So she’s feeling socially vulnerable when her eccentric (and loaded) great-aunt passes away and she ends up with the woman’s sketchbook. A magical sketchbook that will turn your drawing into real-life. So when Dany draws the head of her favorite anime character (uh yeah… JUST the head) and a super popular girl to be her friend, there are (as you can imagine!) some unintended consequences. This book is FUNNY but you won’t catch half the stuff unless you read the background texts - like the store names: “Hot Topic” is “Cool Subject” and the indredients list on the food have some interesting things listed on them. This book is like a mix of Shannon Hale’s Real Friends with a touch of Suee and the Shadow with a little sprinkle of Amulet. If you have readers about ages 10 and up who like graphic novels about friendships and would be up for something with a supernatural twist, then this would be a great recommendation. And… I see Gudsnuk has a sequel in store as well!
