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.

Durable, almost nondestructable, exelent guality bone.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium, Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
We bought these bones about fifteen years ago and now I've been looking for them and was not able to find them. I've almost given up hope that they're still on the market. We finally found them yesterday. Since then we only have one small left and after a long time of gnawing on it, our two 50lb Labrador/German shepherd puppies are arguing over it. Even though they have other rubber and plastic toys that are supposed to help their teeth and gums, these two have taken a liking to this small size nylon bone and literally fought over it. The are aggressively protecting it like it would be real bone. I can't wait for the new two durable nylon bones to arrive. They are great for their teeth and gums. Thank you for continuing to make them. Dale and Jarmia Rogers

Super tough, great value, addictive toy for my dog.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: X-Large
My dog pit/Shepard mix, loves this bone, and I love it because she can't kill this one like all those other Kong toys. She had a smaller nylabone, she killed it but took about a year, this larger one, she won't be able too that soon. Hard expensive Kong things, wouldn't last a couple months with her. So now, 3/17/2026 its still going. One end is gone, but the green part and other bone end she's working on.

Great for Mega Chewer
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: X-Large
Got one of these for our Rodesien Ridgeback when he was a puppy, and it worked well. So, when my daughter rescued two medium-sized dogs (one is an Australian Cow dog mix, and the other a Plott Hound mix) it was a no-brainer. The Plott Hound mix has jaws of steel and destroys anything and everything he can get his mouth around, except items from this maker. This is the only toy brand I've found that he doesn't demolish in under 5 minutes. Oh, and I'm stunned he can put bite marks in it. The Rodesien Ridgeback didn't even do that when he was a puppy, so I was surprised. However, that being said, the toy is holding up to hours of abuse. I had to buy additional toys because they don't like to share. Update on 01/09/20: these are still holding up to repeated abuse.

Sensational Toy By Nylabone Keeps Your Best Freinds Teeth Snow White!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: X-Large
Our Bull dogs LOVE these bones. Long time Nylabone fans they've been making quality dog toys here in the United States for over fifty years. The nubs on the end of the bone age great for cleaning teeth and massaging bones. The center is softer but still holds up to even the toughest aggressive chewers. For whatever reason this isn't a "favorite" toy in the sense that they drag it around a few hours a day but they do play with it and we replace them when the ends start to shred - which should be done with all nylabone chew toys. The price on Amazon is virtually half the cost of the big box pet stores so it's affordable - not to mention fun to replace their toys and try new ones often. Plus with a Prime membership almost every item we buy ships with Free two day shipping - making the deals even that much sweeter.

You've got to be kidding. Really !!!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: X-Large
I've used these for over fifteen years They are great. But, mine only lasted two days this time. Lucy the Labrador, left it in the driveway one afternoon. The next morning a huge garbage truck ran over it, making dust out of it. Normally, Lucy cant go any ware without it, so leaving it outside was her fault. And mine, for not checking. Yes, I ordered another one right away. Otherwise, she would have drove me crazy. These are great, and they last a long time, even with the most aggressive chewers. Lucy, passed away on June 16, at age 13, but you can bet I still have her favorite bone. The more a dog chews on these, the better they brush the dogs teeth. A+ product, just like their other items.
