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.

Very functional and spacious!
Color: Upgrade-apricot, Size: 16 Inch
I wasn’t expecting to love this backpack as much as I do, but wow —it’s everything I wanted and more. The apricot color is soft and pretty without being too “girly,” and the fabric has a nice matte texture that feels durable yet lightweight. It doesn’t have a plasticky smell at all, just a clean, new bag scent right out of the packaging. The compartments are super well thought out. I can fit my 16-inch laptop, chargers, skincare pouch, and even a change of clothes without the bag looking bulky. The back padding is surprisingly comfy, especially during long airport days, and the straps don’t dig into my shoulders. It sits well on my carry-on handle, making it the perfect travel companion. If you’re into functionality and aesthetics, this is it.

Comfortable & Sexy!!!
I was looking for a sexy, comfortable bra to wear at home. For those with large breasts, I'm sure you understand the frustration of trying to find a bra that doesn't look you're in a back brace. After ordering this style in two cup sizes in three band sizes each, I found the fit that was best for me and now own three of these gorgeous bras! I could have made do with three or four of the six of the sizes I ordered, but the 38G provided the most comfort & coverage. Speaking of coverage, this isn't really a balconette bra as the breasts are completely covered by fabric. I LOVE that the sides don't cut in and come up high enough to cover any underarm bra fat. Even with the complete coverage, this bra is VERY sexy because of its sheerness. My husband has always complained about my other bras being too thick when he'd come in for an embrace and a squeeze, but he loves this one! It does allow for erect nipples to show through a shirt, so it may not be appropriate for every occasion or for those that are concerned about that sort of thing. For me, this bra is perfect for around the home or for quick errands out. It's very comfortable and sexy enough to wear to bed as lingerie with pretty panties under a sheer robe or just under a nightshirt. It provides medium support as far as lift, but it does allow for quite a bit of bounce which the hubs also enjoys, lol. With this bra being so reasonably priced, I'm hoping it comes out in several more pastel and bright colors, especially red, because I am ready to buy them all!
