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.

The Best of the Modern Guides to the PCT.
Format: Paperback
This book is not an update of the Wilderness Press classics on which the trail was discovered and hiked by a couple generations from the 1970s to around 2010. It does however owe those books a heavy and unacknowledged debt. This is most notable in lettering sections which the author of this guide, Shawnte Salabert, attributes to the PCTA but in fact come from scarified, Schaffer, et all who wrote the original guides to California, Oregon, and Washington. Even the definition of sweat constitutes the Southern California trail, comes from those guides. (It starts at the Mexican Border near Campo California and ends in Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite.). But alas, those books are long out of print, in part because today’s hikers prefer light weight apps with minimal trail information as opposed to detailed descriptions of the physical geography and varied ecosystems of the trail. I’m not sure the lost knowledge has equaled the reduced weight but I’m a bit old school. And this book is as much a throwback to that kind of writing as it is a nod to recent demands of the hiking community. It does cover every mile of the route, suggest campsites along the way, and as much as possible provide an option for day and section hikes along the trail for just about anyone. The author provides good car descriptions to major trailheads for each section hike he recommends as well as available entry and exit options along the way. The writing is entertaining and the author has his own sense of humor that will become readily apparent as you read the text. Based on my experiences (and I’ve hiked 95% of the trail he describes at least once; sometimes multiple times) his mileage descriptions are accurate and you will easily be able to recognize the places he describes along the way. The book also features nice color photos and it’s availability in digital form will certainly please the gram counting hiker set. On the other hand, I miss seeing elevations along with miles at each major trail intersection, pass etc. Salabert does give total elevation gain and loss for each section of trail he describes but sometimes it’s nice to know just how much of a climb to expect. Ultimately, this book fulfills it’s purpose. You should want to hike the PCT after reading a few pages if you hadn’t already when you purchased the book. And if you are like many people with only a weekend or a few days to spare hiking the trail, this book will make planning short sections easier. It offers a lot. But it reminds me of an era when guidebooks offered even more.

Superb Guide in All Respects
Format: Paperback
An invaluable reference for anybody interested in section hiking the trail. I especially appreciate the coverage of water and campsites. It’s also a fun and beautiful read for any armchair adventurer. Salabert did an amazing job bringing together well-written text, data, maps, and beautiful photos to create a comprehensive guidebook. Deserves to do very well.

Truly embracing life along the Camino de Santiago
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
The Way of the Wind: Embracing Life While Walking the Camino do Santiago, by John W. Pearson, 2021, recounts one man’s experiences while walking the Camino de Santiago, a thirty-five day, five hundred mile walking journey from St. Jean Pied de Port in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The journey follows a path tread by literally millions of pilgrims, or “pelegrinos”, as they seek to find something very person in the experience. The book is a travelogue recounting the miles of the daily trek, the people, stories, dining, lodging, and local services encountered along the way. There are a series of black and white photographs accenting the dialogue which give the reader a sense of involvement in the story. A nice touch was a simple map at the beginning to orient the reader along each day’s travel. I absolutely loved this book. It was enjoyable to read and I found myself slowing down near the end of the book to better savor the details. It warrants a double read to go back and let those early experiences soak in a bit more. I found the book to be educational, as I learned a lot about the historical significance of the route of the Camino, as well as specific landmarks along the way, such as a 10th century Roman bridge dwarfed by a new modern bridge overhead. I imagined myself walking along that ancient roadway, imagining what a pilgrim in 1300 must have thought. The dialogue is playful, recount with hours of walking, lively dinners, and crowded “albergues” (think camp dorm rooms with bunk beds). All was not rosy along the Camino. The narrative relates the aches of sore feet, legs, backs; the challenges of securing lodging and laundry; meanings lost in translation; inclement weather and treacherous roadways. Often mentioned are markers to honor the fallen dead along the Camino. About 2/3rds through the book, John recants his very personal reason for going on the pilgrimage, which he describes as “The Whale in the Room”, referring to the motivation of Captain Ahab in Moby Dick. His honesty and vulnerability bring the entire journey into focus. He brings the reader to the Cruz de Ferro, where pilgrims have stopped for millennium with their deepest meanings. I have known John Pearson since 1975, when we met in High School in El Paso, Texas. However, through the years, I moved and we lost close touch. There were many parts of this book of which I did not know the details. John’s story is very powerful, and will impact the reader deeply. Once you have read the book, you will have a clear idea of the experience, and can judge for yourself if the Camino de Santiago is calling you. For me, I found the book asking me not “WILL you go?”, but “WHEN will you go?”

A remarkable story, illuminating and real.
Format: Paperback
This book is a journey, the author’s journey and potentially the reader’s as well. A story that at once reveals the author’s walk of hundreds of miles, intertwined through steps of ancient history, beautiful and interesting places, and traversed by countless people who through the ages embarked on similar journeys of their own. There is a revealing honesty that comes through these pages allowing the reader to feel vicariously on a kind of journey of one’s own. With great admiration for this writer and for all those who have traversed so consummate a pilgrimage, I found myself searching my own soul, visualizing the vast and beautiful detailed descriptions, enjoying the frequent humor and occasional hilarity, at times laughing out loud, feeling deeply moved, filled with questions and ideas about the ways we all find ourselves traveling our lives. The people, fellow pilgrims the writer meets along the way, the experiences they share on their subjective journeys, are honored by this author as are the lives of those who came before them over the centuries. It is a book filled with surprises, joy, pain, beauty. An absolutely awesome experience to read.
