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.

This Shirt Is So Cozy My Husband Loves It — Perfect Fit and Style!
Color: Turquoise, Size: X-Large
I recently picked up the Alex Vando Men’s Golf Shirt, and I have to say, it has quickly become one of my husband’s favorites in his wardrobe. From the moment he tried it on, he raved about how soft and comfortable it feels. The material is lightweight and breathable, yet it doesn’t feel flimsy — it strikes the perfect balance for both everyday wear and active use. The moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties are a game-changer. He’s worn it for golf, casual outings, and even on warmer days, and it keeps him cool and dry without sticking uncomfortably. The UPF30+ is an added bonus for sunny days outside, giving some extra peace of mind during golf or tennis sessions. What I really love — and what he notices — is the attention to detail. The 3D checkered texture gives the shirt a subtle, sophisticated look that feels premium. The color-matched snap buttons are secure and easy to use, and the fine line detailing along the placket adds a touch of depth. The side panels and slit hem make movement easy, so he doesn’t feel restricted during activities. It’s clear this shirt is designed with both style and performance in mind. Fit-wise, it’s fantastic. It flatters his physique without feeling tight, giving a clean, streamlined look. He’s worn other golf polos before that were either too stiff or too loose, but this one hits the sweet spot perfectly. Another huge plus is the practicality. This shirt is wrinkle-resistant and washes beautifully, requiring no ironing. That makes it perfect for busy days when he wants to look sharp without extra effort. Overall, the Alex Vando Men’s Golf Shirt is a winner. It’s stylish enough for business casual, functional enough for sports, and incredibly comfortable for everyday wear. My husband loves it, and I’ve already noticed him reaching for it again and again. If you’re looking for a high-quality, versatile polo that combines comfort, style, and performance, this is absolutely worth trying.

Looks great
Color: Blueoval, Size: Large
I love the feel of 90% polyester shirts and this shirt looks great, fits me perfectly (I’m 6’3” 190lbs) and seems to be a great quality. Looking to the next shirts I’m going to buy right now.

Lightweight, Stylish, Moisture-Wicking, Breathable & Stretchy
Color: Bluedotwhite, Size: Large, Color: Bluedotwhite, Size: Large
I picked up this Alex Vando polo in bluedotwhite to add to my polo collection, and overall I’m pleased. The fit is true to size, and the material is lightweight, breathable, comfortable, and stretchy which is perfect for casual office wear or everyday use. I like the subtle design details on the pocket and collar, which add contrast and visual interest without being over the top. The shirt feels substantial without being see-through, and the construction is solid with clean stitching and no loose threads or buttons. At the current online price, this shirt is a good value. My only disappointment is that I got a noticeable snag on the right chest after the second wearing; I’m not sure if there’s a way to smooth the threads back out. Despite that, I still recommend it for style, comfort, and performance.

soft breathable shirt
Color: Navycircles, Size: Large, Color: Navycircles, Size: Large
I measure a 33w and 42c. That would indicate that I should be closer to a size medium. But I have received enough summer short sleeve shirts that have a sizing chart that says that I should be a size medium only to find that they would only look good on me if I were built like Adonis. So I ordered a size large. It fits pretty well. I still think it is a little more snug than I would want but that is just my vanity wishing I had a flat gut. It is a bit difficult to read the washing instructions that are printed in silver on the inner collar. The label says it is 87% nylon and 13% spandex. The craftsmanship of the shirt is excellent. The collar has a nice cloth roll covering the seam so there is no chafing on the neck. The inner seams on the sides are double shitched with an interesting taper at the bottom that would only be noticeable if the shirt is not tucked in. The length of the shirt is sufficient that it will not try to pull out on the back and it is stretchy enough that I think if I tuck it in my underwear it will not pull out when riding my bike. I like the pattern. It is like the little dots on a bird feather repeated over and over.

I wonderfully versatile athletically fitting summer polo
Color: Lightbluedot, Size: Small
Don't really have any down sides on this polo. It's lightweight yet surprisingly wind resistant, even on cooler days im not losing all my body heat at the slightest breeze. It feels more like a cotton blend while performing like a polyester with the stretch and drying performance. The fit is very athletic, with just enough room in the chest and shoulders while hugging close to the midsection. This polo is quality both in looks, with the collar holding shape and appearance, the faux chest pocket ups the look of the shirt without being a clunky piece with a pocket that bunches up. Im thrilled with this polo and am buying more colors to have variety with this shirt. Wonderful wonderful value for the money if you're looking for a versatile close fitting shirt without hindering mobility
