Native habitat and growth pattern
Sansevieria Cylindrica is part of the Asparagaceae family and is native to tropical West Africa, from Nigeria east to the Congo. In the wild, it grows in clumps of long, spiked foliage that fan out into elegant shapes.

Sansevieria Cylindrica care guide

• Light requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates direct light and lower conditions. Best kept in a well-lit room for stronger growth.

• Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with our vegan, organic plant food, designed to support healthy, upright growth.
