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.

Looks very nice and sizing is right
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 14, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 14
I ordered this for my 13-year-old who currently wears a size 12-14. He's closer to the 12, but has enough clothes in that size, so I ordered the 14 in navy blue. He chose the color, although it took him a while to decide. My kids so far have preferred not to go to school dances or dressier school functions, but I try to keep an outfit on hand in case they need it, and he does have to dress up a little for school band performances. He doesn't really have any kind of clothing preferences (yet), and is just as likely to look dressed up as he is to wear something completely wrinkled (but clean). This vest fits as expected. It is a bit large on him to the same degree that the other size 14 clothes he has are. He is pretty skinny, so while I think it would fit someone who is more average sized, I'm not sure how well it will do on huskier sizes. It has a nice buckle on the back as most men's vests like these have, so it can be adjusted in that sense. The navy color is a bit of a brighter shade than your average navy, but not outside of the normal range for navy. I like it. It’s hard to get the exact color in pictures. The fabric and construction both seem to be good quality. The fabric feels average compared to my husband's dress vests, better than the lower quality/cheaper ones and not quite as nice as the ones he spent more on. This boy's dress vest is currently being sold for approximately $20, which I think is great for a nice dress vest like this.

"Navy Vest & Pocket Square Charm; Formal Polish for Perfect Pairing
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 8, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 8
This very charming boys navy blue vest pairs perfectly with the accompanied pocket square, adding formal charm to dockers or navy khakis. My boys look dapper in matching sets. A timeless style that elevates any outfit. Made with quality fabric that appears to resist wrinkles, with the pocket square folding neatly for that polished touch. Comfortable and event ready.

Adorable boys vest! Dress up or down!
Color: Light Gray, Size: 5, Color: Light Gray, Size: 5
Super cute vest! Made of quality materials. The buttons on the front all work very well. My four year old can easily button and unbutton them himself. All 3 pockets in the front are functional cute little pockets. There are vertical line stitchings making this vest look just like dad's. The back is easily adjustable. I will stay I was nervous it was going to be too big for my almost 4 year old - I ordered the smallest size available, size 5 and it actually fits him perfectly. In fact, I could even have gotten him the size 6 and it would have fit so I recommend to size up. It's a breathable vest. The gray color goes with lots of other colors. It's an adorable vest. You can dress it up with a nice suit or dress down. It's adorable with a t shirt and jeans. The inside back is a nice silky material. This vest is very well made - its thick but breathable and a great value for the dollar. I highly recommend.

Perfect Fit and Amazing Quality – Highly Recommend!
Color: Black, Size: 12, Color: Black, Size: 12
I am absolutely thrilled with this boys’ formal vest! The size was spot on—it fit perfectly without being too tight or too loose, which can be hard to find for kids’ dress clothes. The material feels premium, soft yet structured, and it looks much more expensive than it actually is. I ordered it for a wedding where my son was the ring bearer, and it photographed beautifully. It gave him such a classy, well-dressed look while still allowing him to move comfortably through the day. The stitching and finish are top-notch, and the color stayed vibrant even after washing. It paired perfectly with a white shirt and dress pants we already had. I also appreciate how versatile it is—it’ll be great for Easter, family photos, or any other special occasion. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the quality, fit, and style of this vest. Definitely a 5-star purchase that I would buy again without hesitation!

Perfect Suit Great Quality and Value
Color: Lavender Purple, Size: 6 Years, Color: Lavender Purple, Size: 6 Years
I love at how nice this boys suit turned out. The slim fit gives it a stylish, elegant look, and it makes my nephew look so sharp and grown up. Fit true to size. The material feels good quality, not thin or cheap, and it’s definitely nicer than I expected for the price. I really like that it comes as a full set, which made things so much easier instead of having to buy down extra pieces. Love the tie and the vest, so cute. He wore it for a special event and got so many compliments, people couldn’t believe how handsome he looked. It stayed looking neat all day, and he was able to move around comfortably. I could easily see him wearing this again for weddings, church, holidays, or even school pictures. Overall, it’s a great buy if you want your little guy to look dressed up without spending a fortune. Beautiful boys suit, stylish and elegant, great value and quality. Wash inside out, and air dry.
