Dracaena angolensis (Sansevieria cylindrica) 'Twister'
Dracaena angolensis 'Twister' has thick cylindrical leaves arranged into a twisted central shape. The grey-green spears keep the curved texture of the African spear plant, while the woven arrangement gives the pot a compact centre.
The visible twist comes from the arrangement of mature leaves. New basal shoots can appear later from the rhizome, often growing beside the original spiral and gradually adding extra foliage around the base.
Twisted spears in a tight centre
- Grey-green cylindrical leaves held in a spiral arrangement.
- Water-storing foliage with subtle banding.
- Rhizomatous base that may produce new offsets over time.
- Dense leaf arrangement that needs careful watering around the leaf bases.
New shoots after the original twist
Dracaena angolensis is native to southern tropical Africa and grows from rhizomes in seasonally dry conditions. The twisted leaf arrangement leaves the plant’s biology unchanged: beneath the visible spiral, the rhizome still follows the same dry-adapted growth pattern.
Fresh shoots may emerge outside the original spiral. Letting them grow naturally keeps the plant healthier than trying to bend mature leaves, which can split or scar when forced.
Care around dense leaf bases
- Light: In bright indirect light, new growth stays steadier and the outer leaf surfaces are less exposed to sudden scorch.
- Watering: Check the substrate, not the calendar. Water only after a deep dry-down and avoid wet pockets at the base.
- Substrate: Use a gritty mix that drains quickly and dries evenly around the rhizome.
- Handling: Support the twisted leaves during repotting so the base is not pulled loose.
- Temperature: Keep warm year-round, with extra caution after watering in winter.
- Maintenance: Remove damaged leaves cleanly at the base; mature cylindrical leaves keep their hardened shape.
Problems linked to the tight arrangement
- Moisture between leaves: Tip away standing water after watering and improve air movement around the pot.
- Cracked spears: Pressure, bending or knocks can split mature leaves; place the plant where it will not be brushed often.
- Soft base: Unpot and inspect the rhizome if the lower tissue darkens or collapses.
- Straight offsets: New shoots are normal growth and can be left attached or separated later with roots.
Safety for pets and handling
Dracaena angolensis 'Twister' contains saponins and may cause digestive upset if chewed by cats or dogs. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children, and wash hands after cutting or handling broken tissue.
Botanical name and leaf-shape clue
Dracaena comes from Greek drakaina, meaning female dragon. The species epithet angolensis means “of Angola,” while the older Sansevieria cylindrica name points to the plant’s cylindrical foliage. The spiral arrangement gives this form its twisted central shape.
Dracaena angolensis 'Twister' has grey-green cylindrical leaves arranged in a compact spiral with dense basal growth.

Does the job, but assembling by yourself is a nightmare
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Does it do the job? Yes, although as others said there are small gaps but it's not a huge deal. The price is also good. But the reason I'm giving it a 3/5 is simply because the assembly for this was a complete nightmare. I honestly don't think I would recommend this to anyone unless they have another person to help them assemble it, because doing it by myself was terrible. I don't think I'd buy this again, I think I'd opt to just spend a bit more money and save myself the trouble personally.

Reasonably adequate room divider
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Beige
I'm reviewing this as I assemble it.
Couple things:
1. I didn't expect as much assembly. I've ordered dividers before and they more-or-less came as one unit. Sometimes the panels needed screwing together. These require complete assembly and come largely as three rods: two make up vertical columns and snap together. Another one (called part "C") makes the horizontal columns and you have two of these per panel (one attaches to part "A" and the other part "B"). These parts are metal with a plastic shim. Using the wood screws to attach to part "C" is a real pain in the neck. There's not much holding the panel in place so it's a little tricky.
One tactic I've found while I'm assembling that works for the initial connections from parts A and B to their respective "C" rods is to hold the screw in place with a screw driver and then rotating the rod around the screw. This will do a number on your hands if you aren't wearing gloves. This obviously doesn't work when completing the connection.
Using a driller driver on this is really near impossible because there isn't anything you can use to secure it in place. You can use it on the first panel, but as it gets longer, it becomes increasingly difficult and because it isn't wood, it's really tight. I considered drilling larger pilot holes but since there are only 4x4=16 screws I need to screw in, I just decided to use my screw driver to complete it.
2. Also related to assembly. When completing the panels (attaching parts "A" and "B" to parts "C" that have the cloth cover on it), you have to be careful that when you tighten that side that it isn't loosening the other side. Because the pilot holes are so tight, you can end up rotating the rod, which rotates it in the same direction as looser on the original side. Having someone hold the "C" rod in place while you screw it in is probably the easiest approach. I didn't have a 2nd person, so I just had to keep flipping back and forth and tightening both sides as I screwed it in. Not the worlds biggest deal, but annoying nonetheless.
3. The way the instructions are written, they seem to suggest building this thing progressively; that is, you do panel 1, then 2, connect them together, then do 3 and connect it, etc. I took a different route that I suspect saved me quite a bit of trouble, and I assembled all four panels first and THEN connected everything together.
4. For the love of God make sure you check that the plastic tip is on the same side for every panel. Otherwise, you have to take one side apart again and reverse it. On the bright side, if this happens, you've essentially bored out the pilot holes to be the correct size... which is having me question if I shouldn't have just bored them out to the appropriate width in the first place.
5. Attaching all of the panels together is also an enormous pain in the ass unless you happen to have an 88" long elevated surface. Attaching the legs either requires you to elevate one side, which will invariably twist the inexplicably cheap material in the bottom connectors... or you can attach them sideways... or you can put this thing upright, having two people hold the panels in place while you use the allen wrench to tighten the bolts on the underside. None of those are particularly great options.
NOW on to the utility itself.
1. The panels do let some light through (I didn't believe their advertising, and that was one of the reasons that I bought beige, is that I wanted it to not be too dark). They aren't transparent though, so it isn't that far off from their description. They functionally work great, and keep the mess of wires hidden and when I'm sitting at my desk, actually reflect quite a bit of light into my office. Great!
2. My wife has described these as "the most hideous piece of furniture ever conceived of by man." So it does not have spouse approval factor. Granted, she will seldom be in my office area, so that isn't the end of the world.
3. These are really hard to align in a way that doesn't look a little tacky. There are some plastic connectors but they don't do a bang up job of keeping these in place. Each panel is slightly tilted and it's... quite obvious. I may at some point make my own improvements to these to help make them more level. It's not a particularly expensive product so I wasn't expecting much so it's fine and I'm not going to ding them on the rating because of it.
All said, would I buy this product again? Probably not. It's assembly was ~90 minutes which is about 75 minutes longer than I was anticipating spending on this (not including the 5 minute writeup that I'm doing here). But am I going to return it? Also no, if for no other reason I'd be just as annoyed taking it apart and putting it in the original box to return it.

Great for using behind me on Zoom calls
Color: Black, Size: 1 Large Panel
This works great as a place to put tapestries behind me when I'm on Zoom calls... much nicer than blurring out the background. Easy to put together, large, works great.

Good quality, very adorable solution.
Color: Black, Size: 1 Large Panel
Easy to put together and take apart. Wish it had a storage bag of some sort—that would be very helpful. Used it for our mom while she was on hospice at home. The wheels made it very easy to move around as necessary. Nice and tall and wide for privacy. Highly recommend.
