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.

No unsafe ingredients
I always love this brand. Their products are amazing quality for skin improvement. As an esthetician student learning about the dangers of certain ingredients, with this brand I don't have to worry about that.

Promise made. Promise kept.
Excellent! I could see a significant difference in days and the results are now awesome: even skin, fewer wrinkles (not that I had many, but that was a pleasant surprise 😄) and a slight glow (not sure why). Three drops of the hyaluronic, three or the niacinamide and two of the caffeine (one per eye) and you're done. Recommendation: follow the suggested order for layering them. I do caffeine, niacinamide then hyaluronic. Bonus: They go one smoothly and are light. I used to use mostly L'Oréal, but this stuff is much lighter and smoother. Best bonus of all: a friend noticed the improvement in my skin and he switched as well. Trust me: there's nothing ordinary about The Ordinary.

Staple in my skin care
I buy these over and over. I used to get these from ULTA- however, having them shipped to my door is not only more convenient but also saves me money from wandering around ULTA LOL. Initially, I loved how light weight these serums are. The application was easy and smooth. My skin felt so hydrated after all three AND i noticed my face evening out in color! I am almost out of these three- and about to order them again.

Best Skincare Set — My Second Time Buying & Still Obsessed!
This is truly the best skincare set I’ve ever used! This is my second time purchasing it, and I’ll definitely continue using it. My skin feels smoother, more hydrated, and just healthier overall every time I use these products. The formulas are gentle yet effective, and everything works so well together as a routine. I love that the set is high‑quality, consistent, and gives visible results. It’s become a staple in my skincare lineup, and I honestly don’t want to be without it now. Highly recommend — especially if you’re looking for a reliable set that actually delivers!

Nothing ordinary about it…
I bought this for my 14 year old niece for Christmas and it was a big hit. Apparently The Ordinary is on all of my nieces’ Amazon wish lists, and I have no shortage of nieces. I see it pop up every time I check their lists for birthdays, Christmas, graduations, and every other buying holiday in between. When you’re a teenager, having clear, fresh looking skin is basically a top priority, and she was really excited to start using these. She’s been experimenting with different skincare lately, and so far this is the only brand that hasn’t caused her to break out, which is a pretty big win at 14. She said it feels light on the skin and leaves her face feeling clean and hydrated without being heavy or sticky. And honestly, there’s nothing ordinary about this stuff except the name. It’s a great little starter set for someone getting into skincare, and judging by the reaction I got when she opened it, it also earned me favorite aunt status, which I’ll gladly take.
