Dracaena angolensis (Sansevieria cylindrica)

Dracaena angolensis is the cylindrical snake plant still widely recognised as Sansevieria cylindrica. Its leaves rise from the base as thick grey-green spears with subtle banding and a rounded cross-section.

The plant starts with a narrow footprint, then gradually adds basal shoots from its rhizome. Mature leaves can become long and heavy, so a stable pot helps the plant sit securely as it develops.

Spears from a basal rosette

  • Cylindrical, pointed leaves with a water-storing texture.
  • Grey-green banding that follows the curved leaf surface.
  • Rhizomatous growth with new shoots emerging from the base.
  • Steady indoor development in a pot with excellent drainage.

African spear growth and rhizomes

Dracaena angolensis is native to southern tropical Africa, including Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It grows as a rhizomatous geophyte in seasonally dry tropical habitats, which explains its tolerance of dry intervals and its sensitivity to cold, wet substrate.

Indoors, the plant builds height and density through the same pattern: thick foliage above, gradual rhizome spread below. New shoots may eventually fill the pot and create a denser cluster of spears.

Care for cylindrical spear leaves

  • Light: Place in a bright position with gentle direct sun if introduced gradually.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after the substrate has dried deeply; reduce watering during cooler months.
  • Substrate: Use a gritty, mineral-rich mix that lets water pass quickly through the pot.
  • Pot weight: Use a heavier container to balance mature leaves as they gain height.
  • Temperature: Keep the plant warm and dry through winter, especially after watering.
  • Leaf care: Cut damaged leaves at the base with a clean blade; old scars stay visible on mature foliage.

When the base or leaves change

  • Dark soft tissue: Inspect the rhizome if the lower leaf base turns mushy or collapses.
  • Thin new leaves: Increase light gradually if fresh growth appears weak or stretched.
  • Loose plant in the pot: Check for root loss after overwatering, then restart in a drier substrate if needed.
  • Fine webbing or white clusters: Treat spider mites or mealybugs early, especially around the grooves and leaf bases.

Safe placement in the home

Dracaena angolensis contains saponins and is toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children, and wash hands after cutting damaged leaves if your skin is sensitive.

Why both names appear

The accepted botanical name is Dracaena angolensis. The familiar synonym Sansevieria cylindrica refers to the cylindrical leaves, while angolensis means “of Angola.” Dracaena itself comes from Greek drakaina, meaning female dragon.

Dracaena angolensis has cylindrical leaves, rhizome-led growth and a narrow indoor footprint.

Best on the market!
I have tried three other brands of electric cork pullers. The fact that I now invested in a fourth probably telegraphs what this review is all about: this Vinabon device is great, hands down winner in the electric cork puller sweepstakes! First, its motor is more powerful. Some winemakers are employing corks that fit pretty tightly, and the other brands I used would occasionally be unable to remove the cork. The screw would simply stop turning, without ay way of resuming. Advantage: the bottle. Second, it is small, about half the size of the others, leaving a small footprint on the counter. Third, it lasts much longer on a single charge. It doesn't sit in a cradle, because it doesn't need to. Assuming you open 10 to 20 bottles a week, you will be able to go two weeks without needing to plug the charging cable in, and a full charge does not take long. 4 vertical lights on the cylinder tell you how much of a charge remains. Fourth, you simply press and release the start button and maintain gentle pressure on the bottle while the device descends into the cork and removes it. As soon as you remove the device from the bottle, it immediately begins to eject the cork. All with that one touch of the button! Fifth, if you encounter a particularly tight cork, the device will stop, whereupon you push the button again and it continues. A couple of synthetic corks required me to restart 3 for 4 times, but it ultimately conquered them all! That leaves only one issue: a failed cork that breaks during the removal process, because the screw cannot engage the cork enough to remove it without it breaking. To my knowledge, the only solutions to this, with any cork puller, are to resort to an Ah So, or if that cannot do it, just shove the cork down into the bottle, and drink the entire bottle in one evening. Truth to tell, I have, myself, actually enjoyed that latter remedial step, especially with a larger format bottle on an evening when I am dining alone. I cannot yet report on the ultimate problem that seems to vex all electric cork pullers I have owned: If the cork disintegrates within the cylinder during removal, how do you get the remains out? I threw my last cork puller away because I could not remove the cork detritus stuck in the cylinder, rendering the device useless thereafter. If there is a solution to that, I would not be surprised to find that this unit already handles the problem. If BMW were to ever make an electric cork puller, I expect it would be much like this one. t costs almost twice as much as the others I have owned, but you get what you pay for. After all, you can buy a small fleet of Yugo's for the price of a BMW. Bravo, Vinabon! I

Best Wine Opener ever
I hoped I made a wise choice to buy this wine opener and boy did I make the right choice. I have had 2 other electric openers and this is by far the best. You place it on the bottle and press the button once. You hold the bottle and opener and the opener does its job, you don't need to hold the button down. Once it pulls the cork turn it up side down and place it on the counter. It automatically stops and then automatically reverses and ejects the cork. You dinner guests will love watching it. Great opener!!!!!!

Excellent Buy!
I love this little beauty! Works like a charm, and is slightly smaller than its competitors, so it’s easier for packing and portability. I’m a flight attendant, so I actually use this on the plane to open bottles in premium class. It’s sharp looking too…and the attached foil cutter is well designed.
