Dracaena angolensis (Sansevieria cylindrica) 'Twister'

Dracaena angolensis 'Twister' has thick cylindrical leaves arranged into a twisted central shape. The grey-green spears keep the curved texture of the African spear plant, while the woven arrangement gives the pot a compact centre.

The visible twist comes from the arrangement of mature leaves. New basal shoots can appear later from the rhizome, often growing beside the original spiral and gradually adding extra foliage around the base.

Twisted spears in a tight centre

  • Grey-green cylindrical leaves held in a spiral arrangement.
  • Water-storing foliage with subtle banding.
  • Rhizomatous base that may produce new offsets over time.
  • Dense leaf arrangement that needs careful watering around the leaf bases.

New shoots after the original twist

Dracaena angolensis is native to southern tropical Africa and grows from rhizomes in seasonally dry conditions. The twisted leaf arrangement leaves the plant’s biology unchanged: beneath the visible spiral, the rhizome still follows the same dry-adapted growth pattern.

Fresh shoots may emerge outside the original spiral. Letting them grow naturally keeps the plant healthier than trying to bend mature leaves, which can split or scar when forced.

Care around dense leaf bases

  • Light: In bright indirect light, new growth stays steadier and the outer leaf surfaces are less exposed to sudden scorch.
  • Watering: Check the substrate, not the calendar. Water only after a deep dry-down and avoid wet pockets at the base.
  • Substrate: Use a gritty mix that drains quickly and dries evenly around the rhizome.
  • Handling: Support the twisted leaves during repotting so the base is not pulled loose.
  • Temperature: Keep warm year-round, with extra caution after watering in winter.
  • Maintenance: Remove damaged leaves cleanly at the base; mature cylindrical leaves keep their hardened shape.

Problems linked to the tight arrangement

  • Moisture between leaves: Tip away standing water after watering and improve air movement around the pot.
  • Cracked spears: Pressure, bending or knocks can split mature leaves; place the plant where it will not be brushed often.
  • Soft base: Unpot and inspect the rhizome if the lower tissue darkens or collapses.
  • Straight offsets: New shoots are normal growth and can be left attached or separated later with roots.

Safety for pets and handling

Dracaena angolensis 'Twister' contains saponins and may cause digestive upset if chewed by cats or dogs. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children, and wash hands after cutting or handling broken tissue.

Botanical name and leaf-shape clue

Dracaena comes from Greek drakaina, meaning female dragon. The species epithet angolensis means “of Angola,” while the older Sansevieria cylindrica name points to the plant’s cylindrical foliage. The spiral arrangement gives this form its twisted central shape.

Dracaena angolensis 'Twister' has grey-green cylindrical leaves arranged in a compact spiral with dense basal growth.

parodies of a classic
Format: Paperback
In Shamela, Fielding gives us the behind-the-scenes true Hollywood version of Pamela's story (and it's tabloid worthy). In Joseph Andrews, Fielding shares the tale of Pamela's brother caught in the same sort of madcap antics she endured.

An Excellent Film
The success of this film is derived from Paul Schrader’s concept for the film and his hiring of his production designer, Eiko Ishioka, a Japanese female artist. The four chapters are presented in a simple setting with ingenious design while telling Mishima’s personal history and development into a Nobel price winning author and martyr for his political beliefs. This blu ray is a new restored 4K digital transfer of the director’s cut. As usual Criterion Collection also included a wealth of commentaries, interviews, a 1985 documentary about Mishima and a booklet. A very best blu ray package if you are interested in the person and subject matters.

Astonishing Movie
This is exactly the kind of movie that would never receive funding today and get within hailing distance of production. This movie was my 'gateway drug' into the dark and fascinating world of Yukio Mishima which is one of those things where, as the saying goes, "If you know, you know." This film is basically a collection of several short films woven together. One is the story of Mishima himself, from childhood up to the morning of his last day. The other shorts are taken from four of his novels, including my personal favorite, 'Runaway Horses'. For the biographical portions of the film, which are mostly in black-and-white, Roy Scheider's narration is excellent as well. All in all, this movie is a beautiful introduction to Yukio Mishima as well as an artistic triumph for Paul Schrader.
