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.

They Saved the Best Material for Last
Format: Hardcover
The third and final Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Omnibus is here! Well, actually it debuted in August and I kept waiting on it to show up at my favorite comic book shop. But for one reason or another, the book never came. Once my guys determined that the distributors weren't going to fill the order request, I went to Amazon and ordered it myself. I hate not being able to support a local small business like that... 'Fiendish Fables of Devilish Delicacies' might be the best of the bunch. It features a bunch of celebrity writers taking horrifying shots at America's Favorite Family. Comedian Thomas Lennon and Rocker Rob Zombie are among those who contribute. But it was the re-pairing of 2 iconic teams from the pages of comic history that were my favorite out of all 3 volumes. Swamp Thing co-creators, Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, join forces once again to pose a tale that suggests what might have happened if Homer was killed and put into a vat of Apu's Squishee mix to become the Squish Thing! Then Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan reunite to propose what would happen if Homer lead a team of vampire hunters against the dreaded Count Dracula. I must admit it took me a couple of pages to realize that this was a parody of Marvel's The Tomb of Dracula horror comic from the 70s and not a send-up of Universal's Dracula. However, once I did, I was enthralled because I cut my horror comic lovin' teeth on that series! Colan's artwork was so stunning. It looked 3-D. Artists today can barely make classic comic characters look 2-D. When you read that story, you are in the presence of genius. 2 geniuses! Speaking of bad art, there was one story called 'Boo-tleg' in which the Kwik-E-Mart is selling poisoned Halloween candy to the citizens of Springfield. To hide his crimes, Apu keeps making clones of the townsfolk. But the results are less than ideal. I get the premise of the story and I liked the satire of the effect cloning could have on society. Yet, the artwork looked like really poor computer animation. Like so bad, it makes the Dire Straits music video, 'Money For Nothing' look modern! One thing I had been missing were the covers. This book includes that much desired cover gallery. I still never got the Treehouse of Horror Halloween annuals printed in order; but at least I now have all of the material that would be included, if I owned the entire set. But there are lots of extras that only appeared in the trade collections. So that makes this a super-omnibus. Even with the near $150 I paid for all 3 volumes, I came out on top. Prices for some of those annuals are with price tags of $30-$50 each. No way in heck am I going shell out that type of money for a Simpsons floppy; no matter how much I love Halloween books! Now if only Harry N. Abrams would collect the Simpsons Winter Wingdings and other seasonal Holiday material in an omnibus or two... They saved the best material for last!
