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 stuffies for my Goldie.
Set name: Stuffed Animal Dog Toy Set (5 Pcs)
My dog is a heavy chewer so I don’t expect things to last long with him. But with that being said, he actually doesn’t go too hard on these stuffies and loves each and every one. Will they stand up to aggressive chewing? No they are stuffies. But for this price and for the quality, they are worth it for sure. Sometimes they don’t always squeak but I’m ok with that, because the constant squeaking can drive you crazy. I have a golden who can shove 3 of these in his big mouth but truly, one fits just fine. They are good sized for big dogs, it’s just that mine prefers to have his mouth stuffed like a chipmunk. He loves these stuffies and we will be ordering more for his endless toy box that I didn’t know I needed!

Good for puppies or dogs with little to no teeth!
Set name: Stuffed Animal Dog Toy Set (5 Pcs)
Good for the most part. Definitely not made for a heavy chewer! My dog shredded all 5 plushies within a couple days. Lol She got a hold of 2 them the first night and we woke up to a plushie crime scene. Fluff was everywhere and the squeakers were in pieces in the middle. The toys were unrecognizable, and no one could possibly have identified their intended animal shapes. Our silly girl was laying next to the massacred toys with what could only be described as a prideful grin.

Great assortment to keep the dog running
Set name: Stuffed Animal Dog Toy Set (5 Pcs)
My Jack Russell Terrier mix is madly in love with these squeaky toys. Every morning when he gets up he demands to have at least 4 throws of these as part of his morning ritual now. He loves them, and they seem well sewn and will last him quite a long time (but he has only a couple teeth), and they are washable which this dog mom likes. A good investment for my JRT mix.

Doggo Fun
Set name: Stuffed Animal Dog Toy Set (5 Pcs)
My dogs like these they were just smaller then I thought. They are made for medium dogs. Our big doggo can put the whole thing in her mouth. The squeek isn't too annoying and the overall make of the toy is nice. If you have a doggo that likes to attack and get the squeeker out this toy isn't a match for them. They will distroy it in minutes. If you have a dog that loves to just carry stuffies then these are good for them.
