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.

I was very happy with this purchase. The book came in almost perfect condition with an unused access code inside. There were a few minor bends/blemishes on the outside of the book, but none of them affected the content of the book.

God's Love Rescued Me; Jack's Testimony Freed Me.
Format: Paperback
This book is forever my "go to" book to refer anyone to when it comes to knowing God's love. The few words I have to say here does not even come close to telling of the gratitude I have for Jack and Trisha Frost in the writing of this particular book. As a background, I experience God's loving hand of salvation on March 24th, 1986, when He literally stopped me from committing suicide. Over night my life changed, coming out of the darkness into His glorious light, eyes blinking, working to adjust to the brightness of the Son that had just entered into my once bound for hell life. Over the next twenty-five years I wandered aimlessly around the Kingdom, at times feeling even more lost then I did before entering in. Most of which I must confess came from not being raised in church. So not knowing the lingo, or proper edicts of church, I often fought my way home in tears, crying out to God over the fact that I just did not fit into this new world He had brought me. Over the years battling with the heartache of being what I felt, was a disappointment to the only One I have ever truly been in love with - God the Father. Then in 2011, God spoke to my spirit and said go now. Go? Okay, go where, and do I need to pack anything? I gathered a few things and moved to Houston the very next day. Standing in a bare room, no bed to sleep on, or even a chair to sit in, I asked Him (my go to question), "Where do I go from here, what next?" and as always He gave me sound advice. Go to school... I wasn't sure what He wanted me to study or where, but I found myself enrolling in a ministry school He led me to, and yes, it was at a church. The one place which held so much heartache for me [remember, I had never fit in], but obeying His call which was more important than acceptance. So I went... The very first book the class had us read was "Experiencing the Father's Embrace" by Jack and Trisha Frost. FINALLY, someone I could identify with, and a sea captain at that. When I think of how Jesus connected me with this fisherman's words, at just the right time, just went to show me, He's still willing to bring me into where I can truly belong (to Him). I opened this book and began to read, I found myself captivated by this man's openness and honesty. Then I get half way into the first chapter and I sit frozen, his words penetrate my heart and I know. I allowed Him to rescue me, but all the years since "I had" never allowed myself to get close enough to experience His embrace. I never knew my real father, my mother was murder when I was three, and then I was tossed to and fro from that point on. None of the men in my life ever gave a good example of what a loving "father's" embrace should be. If and when they did embrace me it was not what love could be defined as; and here I am, not only with "father" issues, but now talking about embracing; two words that I had never thought should be used in the same paragraph. Jack shared his testimony concerning a conference in November of 1995, and floored me in my chair over a decade later. He spoke of how God took him back to a moment in his life when he needed that loving embrace and comfort that a father's love should give. Then Jack said these words and my world came to a screeching halt, "I had heard all my Christian life that God loved me, but I had never lowered the walls of protection enough to receive personally a natural demonstration of His love and affection in some of my deepest pain." This man hit my nail right on the head, and it took me a very long time before I could read any further. It was God's love that rescued me, but it was Jack's testimony in this book that helped me find the freedom of knowing the Father's Embrace. I can't wait for the day when I can meet Jack face to face, and give him the kind of hug I so want to give him. Trish and I have become friends, I love her dearly. I can't express the love enough, even now today sitting here writing this, the tears stream with heart felt emotion. So would I recommend this book? Yes, I would HIGHLY recommend it, as well with any book by Jack and Trisha Frost. But this is the one. :) I pray you too will find this same freedom in becoming His sons and daughters.
