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.

Switched from Sony and honestly surprised
Style: 2026 Model, Size: 65-Inch
Been using Sony TVs forever, so I was a little skeptical when I made the switch. But honestly, ten days in and I keep finding myself just... sitting down to watch something because the picture looks so good. The colors are genuinely impressive — rich without looking overdone. HDR content especially looks great, deep blacks and bright highlights without that weird bloomy halo effect I've seen on other TVs. I've watched movies, binged some shows, and played games on it over the past week and a half. No complaints on any front. Gaming feels smooth — the 144Hz panel makes a real difference and the TV switches modes automatically which I didn't even notice until I looked it up. Sound is better than I expected too. I kept waiting for it to fall apart on dialogue or get muddy during action scenes, but it stays pretty balanced throughout. Still have my soundbar but haven't felt the need to plug it in. The Alexa integration is probably what I use most day to day. One time I was already in another room and realized I'd left the TV on — just told Alexa to turn it off without getting up. Small thing, but that's exactly the kind of convenience that makes you actually appreciate it. If you're coming from a Sony like me, the adjustment is basically nothing. Genuinely happy with this one.

Setup Is SOO Easy - Compact Size - Intuitive - Automatic Device Connections
Size: 1 add-on extender, Configuration: without eero Plus, Size: 1 add-on extender, Configuration: without eero Plus
We were hoping to solve an issue we were having with our Wifi setup which prevented us from reliably connection to our two alley cameras and interior garage camera/door opener. These 3 devices were just a bit too far from our Wifi to get a strong connection to stream a video feed, though strong enough to stay connected. However, after install this extender, the signal is super strong and connecting to these cameras is much faster. Setup and usage was also SUPER simple. Since we are already running an Eero setup with 2 routers, install was as simple as plugging the device in, opening the app and clicking through just a couple buttons to start the automatic process for building out the network. Best of all, each of the alley devices are automatically connecting to the extender without needing to manually assign them, so convenient! If you're concerned about compatibility, we had no issues running this with the Eero 6e routers found here https://amzn.to/41kfEv5 I can't speak to all the compatible options but the Eero 6 and 6e routers are a sure bet. So for us, the coverage and stability of the network is now excellent across all devices and we finally have proper functionality of all our connected devices.

So Far So Good
Size: 1 router, Configuration: without eero Plus
My modem crashed a few months ago and Spectrum had to replace the system. I learned during that installation that I was being charged an extra $10/month for my router. Didn't realize that for 5 years, I was only "renting" my router. Which has been an absolute waste of $600. During the initial install, I was not informed of that and I have never seen an actual paper statement for my bill breaking down my plan. My first Spectrum router was very spotty towards the back of my house (1050sq ft. house) and the new router which was supposed to be an upgrade to Wi-Fi 6, was even worse. My phone would lose connection to the new router on my front porch which is 5 feet away from my router. I initially thought that all I needed was an extender and that is how the Spectrum guy and I got on the subject because I am NOT very tech savvy. I had already been looking at the Eero router and he recommended it. I found the one that is compatible to my internet plan (400Mbps) and went for it while it was on sale. This router is very well packaged. Very pretty packaging, too. OMG!! Super super easy to install. Your grandparents could install this. The only thing that I recommend is being sure of your password which you should be able to find in your providers app (at least I can with Spectrum). If you do happen to forget one digit to your password, and you accidentally change your password, you will have to reconnect each device individually. This router was compatible with my internet plan and provider. I'm very happy with the quality, signal strength, functionality. It has been very reliable for the three days that I have had it. I have not lost signal once. Not even on my front porch. My phone is now showing that I am connected to Wi-Fi 6 when before, it kept dropping it and dropping back down to 5G. Even with the 5G, it would buffer really bad. I got this on sale and I do think that the price is competitive for how well this router performs. The app is super easy to navigate and every device that is linked to your router is located in the app. You can monitor what devices are connecting to your router. I do think that this Eero router was the upgrade to my internet plan. I would recommend saving yourself the cost to "rent" your router through your service provider and upgrading to the Eero router. This will pay for itself in 6 months now that I am not "renting" my router.
