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. 

We think you will love this Sansevieria plant order your very own Sansevieria cylindrica - African spear or cylindrical snake plant today and start enjoying its beauty in no time!

A Gripping Superhero Epic with Unparalleled Depth
Format: Paperback
Invincible Compendium Volume 1 collects the initial chapters of Robert Kirkman's groundbreaking superhero saga, Invincible. This massive volume serves as an ideal starting point for readers looking to immerse themselves in a world filled with complex characters, intense action, and thought-provoking storytelling. One of the greatest strengths of Invincible is its ability to subvert traditional superhero tropes while simultaneously paying homage to them. Kirkman skillfully crafts a universe where superheroes exist, complete with colorful costumes and extraordinary abilities, but he takes the genre to new heights by delving into the consequences and emotional weight that come with being a hero. The story revolves around Mark Grayson, a seemingly ordinary teenager who discovers he has inherited his father's incredible powers. As Mark embraces his role as the superhero Invincible, he quickly realizes that being a hero is not as straightforward as it seems. Kirkman expertly explores the challenges, sacrifices, and personal struggles that come with the responsibility of wielding great power. The character development in Invincible is exceptional, with each member of the extensive cast exhibiting depth and nuance. Mark's journey from wide-eyed rookie to seasoned hero is captivating, as he grapples with the complexities of morality and the repercussions of his actions. The supporting characters, including his father Omni-Man, his love interest Atom Eve, and his best friend William, all contribute to the intricate tapestry of the series, each with their own well-defined arcs. In terms of artwork, Ryan Ottley's illustrations are nothing short of breathtaking. The dynamic and detailed visuals bring the action-packed sequences to life, while also conveying the range of emotions experienced by the characters. Ottley's ability to capture the intensity of battle as well as the subtleties of interpersonal relationships adds an extra layer of depth to the storytelling. As a compendium, this volume collects a substantial amount of content, providing readers with a substantial and immersive experience. The inclusion of multiple story arcs and issues allows for a deep dive into the Invincible universe. However, it's worth noting that the size and weight of the compendium may pose a challenge for some readers, and the sheer volume of content can be overwhelming for newcomers to the series. In conclusion, Invincible Compendium Volume 1 is an exceptional superhero epic that pushes the boundaries of the genre. With its complex characters, morally gray storytelling, and stunning artwork, this collection offers a rich and engrossing reading experience. Whether you are a longtime fan of superhero comics or someone looking for a fresh and mature take on the genre, Invincible is a must-read series that leaves an indelible mark.

An Amazing Purchase, and Addition to the Bookshelf
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Absolutely amazing, all three books are hefty and a pretty good size (Bonus if you have the Tales of Tamriel books, these are the exact same size and fit together nicelyon the shelf) and feel like a premium product, well worth the money. Three books covering The Histories, The Arcane, and Man, Mer, & Beast, are lavishly covered with the crest of Akatosh, and each book has a slightly diffrent colored hue to them, to assist in deferentiation. The slipcase is pretty stiff, although one corner was slightly dented, I'd contribute this to being a shipping or processing damage, outside of that no issues or defects, and it even has a magnetic clasp. The Histories. Starting off with book one, we establish the stories and books that cover the history and events leading up to Skyrim, the contents lists the various books in sub categories for easier navigation and grouping, beginning with History, Skyrim, Morrowind (three books cover a small portion of this), and Dragons, although some discuss things like Cyrodiil, the Third Era, etc, these all being derived from the in game source books are mostly relevant and scoped for Skyrim, and not the wider Elder Scrolls universe, for that I recommend the Elder Scrolls Online books, The Land and The Lore. Paired with the stories and texts are outstanding art renditions of characters, cities, weapons, and even concept art for Whiterun, armor, and so much more. Having a complete collection of books pertaining to world events and other major conflicts and political markers is a welcomed addition to this collection. With 229 pages, there's alot packaged in this book that will keep ypu interested and reading. Man, Mer, and Beast. Book two hosts 227 pages dedicated to various races, major figureheads like Ulfric Stormcloak, the Fauna of Skyrim, and even on things like The Blades and House Redoran. An assorted collection of books from Skyrim, once more paired with stunning artwork on nearly every page, it's a nice smorgasboard of topics, with the contents listing the sub sections as Races, Creatures and Beasts, Warfare, and Factions, I find it a great source for learning more about the Nords, Reachfolk, Dwemer, a surprising amount on Dunmer, and so much more. There's even a giant art piece of a Chaorus with a Falmer riding it! (Super cool right?) The Arcane. Book three will excite those studying the works of Shalidore, or anyone learning one of the many schools of magic. 218 pages cover the wide topic of magic and mysteria, with books discussing Deadra, The House of Troubles (Micheal Kirkbride fans will get a kick out of these), The Monomyth, the Divines, St. Alessia, and so so so much more. Elder Scrolls Lorebeards will appreciate this book the most, as it deals with all things, well, Arcane. I mean the stiff they decided to put in here is simply amazing, and blows my mind more with the artwork they include, again also featuring concept art for the game. Even better, there are a fair amount of books on the Deadric Prince of Madness himself, S H E O G O R A T H! This is probably, in my personal opinion, the best out if the three books. I'd say that for the sale price it's at for the time being, this is a must for any Elder Scrolls or Skyrim fan, and pairs nicely with the TES books mentioned at the start.

Stunning set will be loved by any Elder Scrolls fans
Format: Hardcover
It's hard to overstate how fantastic the production values on this set are. Bringing together the three previously published "Skyrim Library" volumes into a single box set, this is more than a collection of printed Elder Scrolls lore: it's a genuine collector's piece. As noted, this set is made up of three hardcover volumes, each of them previously published as individual books. They are collected here in a beautifully designed box. The box is a clamshell design that completely encloses the books so you can't see their spines while on the shelf. The carving on Alduin's wall from the game Skyrim is depicted on the outside, along with display text for your bookshelf, and the interior has an illustration of Alduin himself. Inside are the three hardcover books, and WOW are they gorgeous. Each is roughly 230 pages or so, give or take. The covers are a textured faux leather emblazoned with the Skyrim symbol. They feel hefty and weighty and are VERY well made. Truly impressive stuff. Also impressive are the interiors. Each book is jam-packed with in-game texts, lore, and more from the Elder Scrolls series (though branded as "The Skyrim Library," much of the material here can be found in games like Oblivion and Morrowind, too). The pages are a thick, study paper stock and almost every page is lavishly illustrated. As for the contents, they are terrific for any lover of the Elder Scrolls, Tamriel, and fantasy lore. Newbies will find this interesting and easy to get into, and old vets will delight in having this stuff in a nicely printed form. Vol. 1 is The Histories. The four sections within -- History, Skyrim, Morrowind, and Dragons -- offer a pretty comprehensive reading of Tamriel history from the perspective of mankind, from the early days of man to current, along with loads of Skyrim-specific lore, a quick overview of Morrowind (too quick; I hope they one day publish something similar on that setting), and stuff on dragons. Vol. 2 is Man, Mer, & Beast, covering the people and creatures of the world. In four sections -- Races, Creatures and Beasts, Warfare, and Factions -- you get extensive texts on the dwemer/dwarves, good material on other elves, texts on various factions operating in Skyrim, and more. Finally, Vol. 3 is The Arcane, dealing in magic and the gods. The four sections here -- Magicka, Religion, 2910: The Last Year of the First Era, and Aedra and Daedra -- delve more into the arcane and obscure, getting into the metaphysical aspects of Tamriel lore, accounts of the world's early days, material on the minor gods, and more. The material here is extensive, encompassing over 400 and maybe approaching 500 in-game books and texts. There is a LOT to sift through and read. If you've read some of the series' many in-game books, you know what to expect. If not, you'll be getting dozens of well-written tales, essays and pieces about Tamriel (NOT just Skyrim) and the overall world of Nirn, presented as if they were written by people who live in the game world. They vary in quality and tone, from serious to whimsical. That's a good thing, too. If one of the pieces doesn't catch your interest, just skip it. Each story is brief, usually only a page or two, making this a book you can just pick up and read for a few moments at a time without having to invest yourself. Things are arranged so if you want to read the books straight through you'll get clear thematic narratives, but it's not necessary to read them that way. You can skip around to the things that interest you. All in all, this set is GORGEOUS and is PACKED with stuff that will delight fans of the Elder Scrolls series, even those who prefer Morrowind, Daggerfall, or Oblivion to Skyrim. (No one actually prefers Arena to Skyrim, right?) The retail price seems a bit steep at $100, but the production quality makes it a decent purchase. Amazon's price is far batter than that, making this a no-brainer for lovers of Tamtriel lore. About my only complaint is the box's clamshell design, which makes accessing the books inside a bit of a pain and which does not match the equally gorgeous . They SHOULD look like a matching set when on the shelf -- the five individual books of the these two sets certainly do when removed from their respective boxes -- but the box designs are too different for that. My best guess is that maybe the clamshell design was used because it's sturdier and these are heavy books? Just a guess. But that's a nitpick from someone who likes his shelves to have a nice, matching look. Overall, great stuff. Huge thumbs up for fans of the series. Whether you are new to Elder Scrolls lore or are an old fan of it, either way you'll find a lot to like here.

Beautiful gift!
Format: Hardcover
Bought this for my father as a birthday gift. He absolutely loved it. It is beautifully illustrated, and if you just want a quick read, you can grab one of the books and open it to a page for one of the books inside the game itself.
