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 and Great for Teething!
Size: X-Large, Color: Textured Ring, Size: X-Large, Color: Textured Ring
This Nylabone Power Chew Textured Ring is a great find! It’s a pretty big ring, which is perfect because my puppy can grow into it. She already loves it and spends a good amount of time chewing on it. She’s a big teether, so I was specifically looking for something she could gnaw on that wasn’t plastic, and this has been so much better than the other things she tries to get her teeth into. It seems durable, keeps her occupied, and the price is great for the quality. I’ll definitely be buying another one when needed!

As durable as expected.
Size: Large, Color: Femur Bone, Size: Large, Color: Femur Bone
My dog loves it—more than any other bone she’s ever had. It’s not quite as durable as regular nylabone, but we expected that. This photo was taken after around 2 hours of super aggressive chewing by a very big German shepherd. It has no discernible smell, but obviously it has a flavor because she doesn’t want to put it down even for trips outside. It’s soft enough that it doesn’t cause that “are their teeth breaking?!” sound that a lot of offbrand nylon chews have. The classic femur shape is perfect. It’s the easiest shape for her to hold naturally. All around, perfect dog chew.

Heavy duty chewing, not heavy duty dropping
Size: X-Large, Color: Textured Ring
My super chewer loved this toy, great shape, provided long lasting entertainment. However, when he dropped it from his mouth onto our epoxy flooring (not a far drop as he’s only 50lbs) one chunk broke clean off at the 2 smaller joints. Although we kept the larger piece for a while, a similar drop a week later broke it again. Considering this is fairly inexpensive, I wasn’t expecting it to be indestructible. It’s just strange how it broke. Will probably buy again to test one more time.

My dog loves these things
Size: Large, Color: Femur Bone
My dog loves these things. They don't smell at all. It was a great price. It's big enough for my Frenchie. It's pretty durable but he is able to gnaw it rough so I do have to replace them periodically.
