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.

Great suit, but size up
Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black
This set comes with a jacket, pants, extra buttons, and a bow tie with an easy clip to remove it. The suit itself is really nice and I love the pattern, however, I thought I purchased a XXL, but seemed to have ordered a L instead. Not quite sure how that happened, but suffice to say, he could not fit the suit. He is normally an L in pants, so based on the fit, we would have needed to size up anyways. He couldn't fit his leg in the pants or his arm in the jacket. I automatically size up on items like this because you can take clothes in, but can't take them out if there is not enough cloth. The suit pants are not lined, but you can see that they did leave room for the legs to be let out. Perhaps if we have the pants let out, he would be able to wear the pants. The jacket is fully lined and it comes with two inside pockets, one can be buttoned. I cannot tell if the jacket has room for alterations, but I might have him fitted for it just to see. It comes with a slit on the back of the jacket, so it has that going for it from a quality standpoint. It does come folded so you have iron or dry clean it before wearing. The quality is good for the most part. There are some threads coming out of the bow tie, but that's all I seen that is less the good. I'm giving it four star based solo on it's look and feel. Of course, I can't comment on the fit. For around $80, I definitely think it's worth checking out for a school semi-formal or fancy dinner out. It might be a little lightweight for a higher end event. Did I say I love the pattern?

Stylish look and great value for special occasions
Size: X-Large, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Blue
This suit looks really good in person. The pattern adds a nice touch that makes it stand out without looking too flashy. It is a great option for events like weddings, parties, or prom where you want something a bit different from a basic suit. The fit is slim and modern, giving a clean and sharp look when worn. It feels comfortable enough for a few hours, and the overall shape looks more tailored than expected for the price. The jacket sits well, and the pants match nicely to complete the set. The material is lightweight and decent for occasional use. It does not feel like a premium suit, but it looks good and photographs well, which is what matters for events. The bow tie included is a nice extra and helps complete the outfit without needing to buy more pieces. It may need a quick steam or ironing out of the package to look its best. Also, checking the size chart is important to get the right fit. For the price, this is a very good value. You get a full outfit that looks stylish and put together without spending too much. Great option if you need something affordable for special occasions.

Stylish Statement Suit for the Price
Size: Medium, Color: Gold - Embroidery, Size: Medium, Color: Gold - Embroidery
I really like the black with gold embroidery on this suit - it really will make you stand out. The gold does have a slight green tint to it in certain lighting, but overall I like the unique design and think it looks great. The pants have some flexibility, which made them more comfortable than I expected. I got a Medium - and im usually a 32W. I could see it fitting a 30W or34W too. It arrived in great shape and was not wrinkled at all, though i'm likely going to have to hem the pants 1-2 inches. The pants are neutral and could be worn with other black jackets. I am usually a size 42 bust in jackets, and while the size chart says medium is a 44 bust, i think this fits me like a glove. It also came with a bow tie, which is a nice added bonus. Overall, I think this is a great deal for the price and a solid choice for anyone looking for a versatile standout suit for a formal event or a costume party.
