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.

Good value, works great, just the right size for me
Color: Tea Green, Style: Little Green Mini
I was concerned at first that the clean water/solution tank was small, but it's prefect for my needs. I was able to clean up 4 puppy-pee spots perfectly, and still have half the solution left over that I loaded in. I like that it is really compact so stores easily, that the cord and hose wind up nice and tight, and it can fit in a small space. Cleaning the dirty water tank was a breeze and took 2 minutes. Would recommend for spills and spot cleaning. Very handy and affordable.

Tiny but Mighty Cleaner That Saved My Couch
Color: Tea Green, Style: Little Green Mini, Color: Tea Green, Style: Little Green Mini
I had wanted the Bissell Little Green for the longest time. If you have pets or children, a portable carpet and upholstery cleaner like this can come in very handy. One of my cats unfortunately peed on my couch, and I thought it might be the end of the line for it since it is a power recliner with non removable cushions. I picked this up as a last resort, and honestly also as an excuse to finally buy one. I debated between the plug in and cordless versions, but ultimately chose the corded model because it has almost twice the suction power. At first I thought the suction felt a bit weak, but once I saw the liquid it was pulling up I was very impressed. During the passes I could literally see yellowish liquid being extracted. It was gross and satisfying at the same time. I was also surprised by how brown and dirty the recovered water was. This machine is tiny but mighty. Weighing around 7 pounds, the Little Green is light and easy to carry around the house. It is also a bit quieter than a traditional vacuum. Cleanup is straightforward. You simply remove the dirty water tank and rinse it out. The vacuum head attachment rinses easily as well. For the hose, you can use the self cleaning tool by pressing the nozzle and running water through it for about 30 seconds. There are still some lingering smells, but based on the color of the extracted water it clearly did a lot of work. I just need to do a few more cleaning sessions on my couch. I am glad I finally bit the bullet and gave the Little Green a try. This adorable little machine may have saved me hundreds of dollars compared to hiring a professional cleaner or replacing my couch. Overall, I would absolutely recommend it for pet owners and anyone who needs a reliable upholstery and spot cleaner.

5 Stars for Suction, but the "Drill Brush Hack" makes it 10 Stars
Color: Tea Green, Style: Little Green Mini
I bought the Bissell Little Green Mini to handle the inevitable "kid and pet" messes that don't justify dragging out a full-sized upright. It’s impressively lightweight, about 45% lighter than the original and, in my opinion, seemingly more durable. The 4-foot flexible hose makes it perfect for stairs and car interiors. The Secret Sauce: The Drill Brush Pairing While the included 4" Tough Stain Tool is great for light scrubbing, the real game-changer is pairing this machine with a soft-bristle drill brush. My Process: I spray the stain using the Little Green’s trigger, let it sit for 30 seconds, then use the drill brush on a low setting to agitate the fibers. The Result: This combo lifts deeply embedded dirt and old pet stains that manual scrubbing just can't touch. Once agitated, I use the Little Green’s powerful suction to pull everything out. The water in the dirty tank is always satisfyingly (and gross) dark. Key Performance Notes Suction Power: Don't let the "Mini" tag fool you; the suction is strong enough to leave upholstery nearly dry to the touch. Spray Effectiveness: The built-in spray trigger is precise. It delivers a wide, even mist rather than a messy stream, which is crucial for saturating a stain without soaking the underlying foam padding. Self-Cleaning Feature: The HydroRinse tool is a lifesaver. It flushes the hose after use, preventing that "old damp carpet" smell from developing inside the machine. Portability: It’s small enough to store in a standard bathroom cabinet, making it much more accessible for "emergency" spills. Pros & Cons Pros: Extreme Portability: Easy to carry around the house or out to the driveway. Long Reach: The 12-foot power cord gives you plenty of room to move. Formula Efficiency: A little bit of the Oxy Spot & Stain formula goes a long way. Cons: Small Tanks: Because it’s a "Mini," you will be emptying the dirty tank frequently if you’re doing a whole couch. Loud: Like most portable extractors, it has a high-pitched motor whine.

Works as expected but won’t replace professional carpet cleaning
Color: Tea Green, Style: Little Green Mini
I’d say this little green machine was worth the money. I’ve had it for a few months, and these are my pros and cons: Pros: -good size, easily stored in my closet -cord length is long enough for my needs -gets new stains out if I act quickly after spilling -comes with carpet cleaner (unlike if I were to rent a carpet cleaner from my hardware store) -great for spot cleaning Cons: -I can only spray the cleaning solution if the vacuum feature is turned on. I would like to spray and then wait a while, then turn on the vacuum feature. I could be doing this wrong, but I haven’t figured out a way to change this feature. -the suction isn’t as strong as I’d like. I recently got my carpets professionally cleaned, and I understood why that service is still necessary even if I’m spot-cleaning with my little green guy often.

Great for Small Messes, but Not a Full Carpet Cleaner Replacement
Color: Tea Green, Style: Little Green Mini
I’ve been using this for spot cleaning, and overall it’s one of those tools that’s really handy to have around. The biggest strength is how well it handles small messes. It sprays, scrubs, and sucks up stains pretty effectively—especially on things like car seats, couches, or small carpet spots. The suction is surprisingly strong for such a small unit, which is why these are so popular for quick cleanups and pet messes. () It’s also compact and easy to carry, so you’re not dragging out a full carpet cleaner every time something spills. That’s honestly where it shines the most. On the downside, it’s not perfect. The tank is pretty small, so you’ll be refilling and emptying it if you’re doing anything more than a few spots. () The hose and cord length are decent but can feel a little limiting depending on where you’re cleaning. Another thing is that while it cleans well, it can leave things a bit damp afterward, so drying time is something to keep in mind. And like most machines in this category, it can get a little loud. Overall, it’s a really solid little machine for what it’s meant to do—quick, targeted cleaning. Just don’t expect it to replace a full-size carpet cleaner for deep cleaning large areas.
