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.

Reliable Paper I Keep Coming Back To.
Size: 500 Sheets (20lb)
’ve been buying this paper for the second year now, and it’s been consistently great. It works well for everyday printing—no jams, good quality, and nice bright white color. It’s not the thickest paper, but for the price it does exactly what I need for home and office use. Definitely a reliable and affordable option I’ll keep repurchasing.

Nice feeling paper.
Size: 800 Sheets (24lb)
Very nice paper. It has a good smooth feel to it on top of a nice weight. I haven’t had any problems with it getting jammed in the printer.

Exactly As Advertised
Size: 500 Sheets (20lb)
What can you say about printer paper? It needs to be the right size, the right weight, the right color. This fits all those requirements perfectly. I only take away one star because it is so Basic, just like the title says: it is printer/typing paper and it does a great job of that. It does not cost an arm and a leg, like some paper does. I have run half a ream through my printer so far and no jams or misfeeds.

Nice paper, badly packed for delivery
Size: 800 Sheets (24lb), Size: 800 Sheets (24lb)
The paper is good, the price is decent, but they threw this oversize "ream" in a box and let it bounce around. The box was about an inch or two larger in all three dimensions than the paper, and they didn't put any packing paper in the box to hold it in place. The paper itself arrived mostly undamaged but the wrapper was destroyed. Since most of the paper was OK, I didn't want to make an issue out of it with Amazon and send it back, and risk having another "ream" arrive in even worse condition.

Very Good Paper for Everyday Personal and Business Use
Size: 1500 Sheets (24lb)
I have purchased these 3 packs of this 24lb letter-sized paper several times. It is just fine for everyday usage and I have no problem with it in my Canon B&W and Color laser printers. Print quality is good and sharp. This is much better than the fairly flimsy 20lb and is very suitable for ordinary business usage. It also works quite well for two-sided printing as the back side does not show through. But it is not 28lb+ manuscript quality and should not be expected to be.
