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.

BEST Surge Protector
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
Bought this based on so many rave reviews. I agree -- really great product. Nice long, thick cord and has 7 outlets, so I can plug in a lamp and all the "doodads" from my power recliner (power pack, remote, etc.) with ease. Slimline design makes it look nice, not bulky. Will DEFINITELY buy Tripp surge protectors from now on --- worth the money --- a great product !!!

Only get Automatic Shutoff surge protectors!
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
Surge protectors should STOP working once the surge protection is used up. These are among the few that operate like this. Always look for this feature, as surge protectors often wind up sitting under a desk for years. When it stops functioning as a surge protector, why would you want it to continue functioning as a passthrough power strip? There's no more protection. This line of Tripp Lite surge protectors function properly, and STOP working when it can no longer function as a surge protector.

Very nice! Perfect description and I can see these lasting a good long time!
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
We recently moved and needed much longer cords for some exercise equipment that requires surge protectors. We looked around and found these available in a variety of lengths. We bought two after measuring to make sure we got the right length, and we are very happy. They are the full length as advertised. Flexible cord with durable plugs and seem very sturdy! Nice, heavy wire covering - nothing flimsy about them! Very pleased with the quality for the price!

Good, Solid Surge Protector From Well-Known Company
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
This surge protector does exactly what it is supposed to do. The on-off switch feels solid. The long cord is thick, and seems pretty heavy-duty. It's just a good, basic, solid surge protector, made by a good company. There are definitely cheaper, no-name brand surge protectors available, but how often do you buy these things? I figured I may as well spend a few extra dollars and go with a quality company and get a quality product. If for some reason this surge protector stops working, or some of the outlets do, (as happened with the protector this one is replacing,) I will come back and update this review, but I honestly don't believe that will happen with a Tripp Lite product. [...]. On the other hand, if you did not find this review helpful, I’d be interested in hearing why, so that I can attempt to edit it and make it more helpful to both you and others. If you leave a comment on the review, suggesting how it would be more helpful, I promise to respond to your comment, and to attempt to incorporate your suggestion in my review, if it is at all possible for me to do so. My goal is to write reviews that help people, as I have been helped by the reviews others have written. Thanks!
