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.

Fun toy for dogs that like to fetch
Color: Green-M
The toy is great, good quality, and durable. My dog will only play with it if I am am playing with her, otherwise she loses interest and that is why I am giving it a 4 out of 5. She is a 60 lb. dog and the size. It is a good price for the product and when my dog does play with it the multiple tabs on it make it user friendly for chewing and tossing.

Surprisingly Durable Soccer Ball
Color: Green-M
Ethan is a a chewer par excellence. When his soccer ball arrived several months ago, I expected it to be a raggedy mess within days. I was wrong. The only chewed strap is the longer black one. All others are as good as new. The ball itself is a good size for him, a slightly larger Sheltie. It is one of his favorite toys for running and fetching play. As far as value for money, we’ve had several months to enjoy it without thinking of retiring it to the damaged toys bin. I would recommend it for durability and exercise play.

Total Glow in the dark entertainment
Color: Glow in the dark - L
This toy is my Aussie Shepherd’s favorite. It is durable. I love that in addition to playing fetch, the tabs make it possible for my dog to swing it from his own mouth and throw it in the air. The glow-in-the-dark feature is amazing! I throw the ball in the pitch black yard and watch it run back at me as my dog comes towards me. It's fun to watch!

Straps don’t last
Color: Glow in the dark - L, Color: Glow in the dark - L
My boyfriend’s dog chewed off all the straps in the first day. Decent ball, but why have straps that dogs can chew off so fast.

Fine choice for smaller dogs
Color: Green-M
A good choice for smaller dogs. My mini poodle enjoys flipping this around and playing tug of war with her humans. She cannot be left with it for any unsupervised play, because she was able to begin shredding one of the straps in a matter of a few minutes. The included pump works great.
