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.

Great oral probiotic!
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
Great oral probiotic! Tastes very good and has the right strains for oral health. Brushing, flossing and scraping are all key... and adding in a good oral probiotic is like the icing on the cake. Not too expensive either. If you are looking for a product like this, I can highly recommend NatureWise.

Didn't Hurt, Didn't Help Much Either.
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
Recently I was looking for an oral probiotic to help with sinus, gums and tartar for both myself and some pets. As a result, I purchased both this product and Great Oral Health's probiotics. Even though this product did have some positive effect as regards sinus pressure, it took two tables three times a day to work. Also, I noticed that an earthy, clay-like smell to breath in both myself and my pets as a result of using them. It didn't cause any harm, only that it was slightly disconcerting to smell like dirt. The product from Great Oral Health didn't take as long to produce results, and there was a visible reduction in tartar. Also, no odor. All in all, nothing majorly wrong with the product, except that it doesn't have results noticeable enough to warrant buying again.

Same probiotic strains, but a subtle formulation update
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve used NatureWise Oral Health Probiotics (WiseBiotics) for a while and recently noticed a clear difference between the older and newer version — especially in taste and texture. After comparing the labels side-by-side, there has been a formulation change. The probiotic strains are still the same (including BLIS K12 and M18), but the newer version now lists Organic Inulin (90 mg) as an active ingredient instead of just a minor “other ingredient.” This seems to explain the changes I noticed: • The tablets feel more powdery/chalky • The taste is slightly different (a bit less crisp mint, slightly sweeter/fiber-like) • The dissolve/chew experience is not quite the same as before Inulin is a prebiotic fiber, so this change may actually help feed the probiotics — which is a positive. But it definitely changes the user experience. For me, it’s not necessarily a dealbreaker, but it’s noticeable enough that others should be aware, especially if you’re sensitive to texture or ingredients like inulin. Bottom line: Same probiotic strains, but a subtle formulation update that affects taste and texture. Still a good product — just not identical to the previous version. Hope this helps someone else who thought they were imagining things 🙂

These WORK!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased these two bottles ago for help with dealing with a bad case of oral thrush caused by a couple rounds of powerful antibiotics and fluconazole (rebound?) for a bad UTI and resulting yeast infection. Oil pulling, mouthwashes, salt water rinses all helped, but this put me over the top. I also take a candida killing herbal supplement as well as a variety of probiotics. I appreciate the mint is very mild (these are NOT breath mints which only mask the problem) and dissolve them slowly in my mouth at bedtime along with another during the day. I am also sure to not put anything else in my mouth for a good long time after so the pb’s can do their magic. i believe the thrush is mostly gone, but I still have some residual tingling and burning from time to time. These, along with good oral cleansing practices, help tremendously. I now order them regularly. They also make your breath fresh, naturally. Great product. Highly recommend!

Taste
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I ordered this a week ago, and it seems to taste like smoke or an ashtray. It was not a pleasant taste at all, I expected it to be great with all the other good reviews. Unfortunately that was not the case for me.
