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.

Worth every dollar
Color: Black, Size: 48"L x 5.5"W
This cable gutter is pure genius. You can unhook it and drop it down to access all your cables and everything, strap it all in nice and neat, and hang it back up. Super easy to wire up for a "permanent" set up, yet super easy to modify at any time. It makes the desk look SO CLEAN, and take way less effort. No zip ties, no nothing. My favorite part was it came with these awesome little velcro zip ties, so they are easy to undo and re-use. Worth every dollar.

Quick and easy
Color: Black, Size: 36"L x 5.5"W
Simple and quick fix for a lot of wires, looks good and is perfect if you like to hide your wires and forget about them. I recommend buying other cable management accessories if you want to really organize your cables, as this only comes with a few velcro fasteners. It’s also a little bit awkward getting it on and off the desk once you’ve already got the cables in it, so adding/removing cables is a little bit annoying.

beginner friendly cord managing 10/10
Color: White, Size: 36"L x 5.5"W, Color: White, Size: 36"L x 5.5"W
Love how easy it was to set up and get to working on the new desk setup in my room. This made my setup 10x better and more efficient for me and my tiny fur buddies. Holds plenty of cords and is super easy to keep secured on the desk. 10/10 for me. I can tell it’ll last a while. I’m not a pro and the cable managing could be better but this helped a ton.

The best way to manage your cables.
Color: White, Size: 36"L x 5.5"W
Best cable management product I have used. period. I have used hanging baskets, tried 3m taping channels and tucking everything away. While that works. I change my setup fairly regularly. So hours spent to keep the cables perfectly managed just have to be redone when you add something or take something away. I love the design. The canvas has velcro stitched into it so you can strap heavier items like power strips and bricks into the canvas and then just run your cables through the channel. When you close the canvas all the cables are out of sight leaving something that looks clean but is also versatile enough to support and evolving setup. After everything I have tried, this has been the best hands down.
