Sansevieria Cylindrica 'Boncel' | The Starfish Snake Plant

 

Sansevieria Cylindrica 'Boncel' is a captivating succulent that stands out from the crowd of other snake plants. Its unique, fan-shaped form and robust, cylindrical leaves have earned it the common name "Starfish Snake Plant." This low-maintenance and visually striking plant is a fantastic choice for both novice and experienced gardeners, adding a modern, architectural element to any indoor space.

 

 

Full Description

 

Sansevieria Cylindrica 'Boncel' is a dwarf cultivar of the Sansevieria cylindrica species. Instead of the tall, upright spears of its parent plant, 'Boncel' features short, chubby, cylindrical leaves that grow outwards in a fan-like or rosette pattern, resembling a starfish. The leaves are typically a light green to gray-green with subtle, dark green concentric bands. This compact and slow-growing plant usually reaches a height of 1-2 feet and spreads with "pups" or new shoots that emerge from the base.

 

Like other snake plants, 'Boncel' is renowned for its air-purifying qualities, filtering common indoor toxins like formaldehyde and benzene. It's a succulent that stores water in its thick leaves, making it highly drought-tolerant and forgiving of neglect.

 

 

Growing Tips

 

  • Soil: The most crucial factor for a healthy 'Boncel' is well-draining soil. Use a cactus or succulent potting mix, or create your own by mixing regular potting soil with sand, perlite, or pumice to ensure good drainage and prevent waterlogged roots.

     

  • Fertilizer: 'Boncel' is not a heavy feeder. You can apply a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer formulated for succulents or houseplants once a month during the active growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter.

     

  • Pruning: This plant requires minimal pruning. Simply remove any yellowed, dead, or damaged leaves from the base of the plant using sharp, clean scissors or a knife to keep it tidy.

     

 

Sunlight Requirements

 

Sansevieria Cylindrica 'Boncel' is highly adaptable to a range of light conditions, making it an excellent houseplant.

 

  • Ideal Light: It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. A spot near an east- or south-facing window with filtered light is perfect for promoting vibrant color and steady growth.

     

  • Tolerance: It can tolerate low light conditions, but its growth will be slower, and the leaves may not be as robust. Avoid placing it in very dark corners.

     

  • What to Avoid: Direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods can scorch the leaves and cause them to fade. If you live in a very sunny climate, a little afternoon shade is beneficial.

     

 

Water Requirements

 

Overwatering is the number one killer of snake plants. As a succulent, 'Boncel' is built to withstand dry conditions.

 

  • Watering Frequency: Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. This can be as infrequent as once every 2-3 weeks during the spring and summer. In the cooler, dormant months of fall and winter, reduce watering to once a month or even less.

     

  • How to Water: Water the plant thoroughly, ensuring water drains out of the pot's drainage holes. Do not let the pot sit in standing water. It's also best to water the soil directly and avoid getting the leaves wet, as this can lead to rot.

     

 

Propagation

 

Propagating Sansevieria 'Boncel' is straightforward and a great way to expand your plant collection.

  • Division: This is the easiest and most reliable method. When the plant becomes pot-bound or produces new "pups" (offsets), you can gently separate the rhizomes with a sharp, clean knife or your hands. Replant the new sections in their own pots with fresh, well-draining soil.

     

  • Leaf Cuttings: You can also propagate from a leaf cutting, though this method is slower. Take a healthy leaf and cut it into 2-4 inch sections. Let the cut ends callus (dry out and form a scab) for a day or two. Then, plant the cuttings upright in a pot with moist, well-draining soil. Keep the soil slightly moist until roots and new shoots develop. Note that cuttings from variegated plants may revert to a solid green color.

My dog loves these toys.
Size: Mini, Color: Gator (Pink)
Not a huge toy, nor is my dog. But we have lots of goDog toys. Practically indestructible and my dog likes to carry these in his mouth and bring them onto the foot of our bed. Brilliant colors and good squeaker but my dog is afraid of the squeak. Fair value for cost.

Our XL dogs love this! Highly recommend them! Highly recommend. Not for aggressive chewers but our big dogs don't destroy their toys. They cherish them. Great for play and cuddling. Not to loud either. Very cute.

When they said strong...
...they weren't kidding. Our pup would chew through everything she could get her sharks teeth into. Like my arms. Nothing lasted as long as a week or maybe two. But she has had Dino for months now. She loves him. He is the go to toy for when she wants to play tug. The material used to make this toy is every bit as strong as the seller claims. I will definitely buy from them again. And I will not wait for this one to rip. I may be waiting a long time. If your pup likes to tear stuff apart, feel safe in buying this toy, UPDATE: 2/9/2023 Dino finally succumbed to the torture. His back ripped open and despite trying to repair him with ordinary thread he couldn't withstand the pressure, His stuffing was removed and spread all over the living room. Completely emptied he is still a good toy. Strong enough to withstand the forceful play of tug-o-war. Only thing I would suggest is to use something stronger when closing his back. The rest of him is great. I will be replacing him soon.

Not so tough
Size: Mini, Color: Gator (Pink)
I bought this because I dog sit. The dog chews up every. Single. Toy. So I bought it since it was cheap and it can be in the “chunk” (the dog’s name) toy box. It is not durable at all. He tore it up just as fast as a cheaply made toy. Chunk LOVES it! He would not stop playing with it. He loves the squeakers, it is a perfect size for him to throw it up in the air and chase it, and he loved ripping the legs off. It is good for my husband and I because there is little to no fluff. However, it is the perfect size to drop behind the couch and not be able to get. So once he drops it behind the couch, he won’t get it until morning. Now for my dog’s rating. My dog loves this toy too. He is much more gentle with toys (he has $5 Walmart toys we bought him back in 2020 in perfect condition that he plays with them every day). Before Chunk came over for the weekend, my dog Ted played with this. Ted is a larger small dog and chunk is a smaller small dog. And it is still the perfect size for both dogs.
