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.

Smells Great! Very Messy.
I'm so glad I did a trial run with this spray just before showering. That choice turned a disaster into an amusing inconvenience. The Good stuff: This product smells amazing. Probably the best colored hair spray I've ever smelled. The spray has good coverage. I wasn't trying for full coverage when I did my test, but I was impressed by how evenly I was able to apply the color. It dries really fast, without stickiness. The red color is bold and vibrant, with no orange undertones. So far, so good, right? The Bad stuff: Getting into the safety cap required using a box cutter. Simple twisting or scissors didn't work at all. But that was a one-time issue, so I could overlook it. But this product is MESSY. It covers well. Too well. When I sprayed my hair, the overspray also covered my chest and back. My torso looks like burned meat. If I hadn't been preparing to shower, whatever clothes I'd been wearing would have been ruined. There are no instructions on the packaging about how to avoid overspray. And it isn't just a tiny amount of overspray, either. My torso is about 60% covered. In addition to that, once the spray is used for the first time, the can leaks, getting red dye all over my hands, and dripping down onto the counter. Unacceptably messy.

Lightweight Tinted Sunscreen With Great Coverage—Perfect for Summer
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This has quickly become my go‑to face sunscreen for summer. I’m a redhead - so finding great sun protection that also looks great is a challenge. It offers excellent sun protection with a natural‑looking tint that evens out my skin tone without feeling heavy. The coverage is just enough to look polished while still feeling breathable. I like to set it with a translucent face powder (also SPF), and the combination looks smooth, lasts well, and never feels greasy or cakey. It applies easily, blends well, and leaves my skin looking fresh and put‑together. Perfect for everyday wear when I want protection, light coverage, and a natural finish in one step.

Good coverage - good value
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the first facial sunscreen I've found that does not cause me to feel overheated or confined! If you know this feeling you know what I'm talking about. I am 68, with OK skin, fair but a little color from the sun, and this tint is really good. It doesn't cover the age, it just dulls the evidence. My only negative is the container. After about two uses the pump stopped working. I had to pry off the top and pour lotion into a different container. I will buy this again. Good value for the money.

Dermatologist-Recommended, Gentle Coverage with Added Sun Protection
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This Eucerin Tinted Moisturizer was recommended to me by my dermatologist after having MOHS surgery performed on my face twice. At that point, sun protection became non-negotiable. He felt that the moisturizer with SPF 30 that was already part of my skincare routine was not sufficient on its own and suggested adding this product for better daily protection. I’m so glad I followed his advice. This tinted moisturizer provides lightweight, natural-looking coverage that evens out my skin tone without feeling heavy or settling into fine lines. It blends easily and leaves my skin looking healthy and polished, not made-up. What I appreciate most is how hydrating and gentle it is. My skin can be sensitive, especially after procedures, and this has caused no irritation or breakouts. It wears comfortably all day and layers well with other skincare products when needed. The coverage is sheer, so it won’t replace foundation if you want full coverage, but it’s perfect for everyday wear and gives me the confidence to step out with minimal makeup while knowing my skin is protected. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has sensitive skin, a history of skin cancer or procedures, or who simply wants reliable sun protection with a natural finish.

The Lazy Makeup Day MVP
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This has become my easy low-maintenance face day product. It gives just enough tint to even things out while still giving solid SPF coverage, so I can skip foundation without feeling totally bare-faced. The finish feels lightweight, my skin stays comfortable all day, and the color blended into my skin way better than I expected from a “universal” tint.
