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.

Gave me chills more than once
Format: Paperback
I didn’t expect to feel so pulled in, but there were parts of this book that made me stop reading and just sit there. The stories are strange, intense, and full of meaning I’m still trying to wrap my head around. Enoch 1 hit me the hardest—watchers, judgment, hidden knowledge—it all felt ancient and oddly urgent. Having the modern translation helped me connect with the words instead of struggling through them. The notes didn’t get in the way either—they actually made me want to dig deeper.

Mystical, layered, and thought-provoking
Format: Paperback
This book took me on a serious deep dive. I’ve read Jasher before, but this version gave it new life with clean translation and smart notes. Ina Quant and the Three Jubilees were new to me—and honestly, they pulled me in with their strange, prophetic rhythm. It’s not a casual read, but if you’re spiritually curious or love ancient texts that go beyond the traditional canon, this is a goldmine. It felt like uncovering the other half of a story I didn’t know was incomplete.

21 Microneedling Pen Cartridges for Dr Pen. Well Made; Sanitary; Perform Well; Good Value
Aiscool 21 Pcs Microneedling Pen Cartridges for Dr Pen A6/N2/M5/M7 Replacement Tips 0.25mm by Aiscool I sampled this 21-piece cartridge set to use with my compatible Dr. Pen device, and I was impressed by the variety included for the price. Having a mix of 36-pin, 12-pin, and round nano cartridges makes this kit much more versatile than single-style refill packs. I liked being able to switch between gentler skincare applications and more focused microneedling sessions without needing separate orders for different cartridge types. The cartridges were individually sealed, which added reassurance about cleanliness and storage. The fit with my compatible device was secure and consistent. Each cartridge locked firmly into place without wobbling or shifting during use, which is something I pay close attention to with replacement tips. The needles moved smoothly across my skin without snagging or dragging, and I did not notice bending or dullness during normal use. The 0.25mm depth is also a comfortable option for lighter at-home treatments with minimal downtime afterward. I also appreciated how convenient this set is for maintaining a regular skincare routine. The nano cartridges worked well for serum application and gentler sessions, while the higher pin counts covered larger areas efficiently. The cartridges themselves are lightweight, and while the plastic housing does not feel especially premium, the actual performance was dependable. I made sure to inspect each sealed cartridge carefully before use, which I would recommend with any microneedling accessory product. For the price, this set delivers strong value if you already own a compatible Dr. Pen model and go through cartridges regularly. The combination of variety, compatibility, and individually sealed packaging makes it a practical refill kit for routine personal skincare use at home. Pros: ✅ Includes 36-pin, 12-pin, and nano cartridge options ✅ Compatible fit with supported Dr. Pen models ✅ Individually sealed for cleanliness and convenience ✅ Needles glide smoothly without dragging ✅ 0.25mm depth works well for lighter at-home treatments ✅ Good value for a 21-piece mixed set Cons: ❌ Plastic housing feels somewhat lightweight ❌ No protective caps over the needle openings ❌ Compatibility limited to certain Dr. Pen models ❌ Requires careful sanitation and inspection before use

Fit my Dr. Pen perfectly!
I picked up this 21-piece microneedling cartridge set for my Dr. Pen device, and overall it’s a very solid value for at-home use. For the price (around the low $30 range), you’re getting a useful mix of 7 nano, 7 12-pin, and 7 36-pin cartridges, which makes it easy to switch between lighter skincare treatments, product infusion, and more intensive microneedling sessions without buying separate packs. Compatibility was exactly as expected. The cartridges fit my Dr. Pen M7 securely with no looseness or alignment issues. They clicked into place properly and stayed stable during use, with no wobbling or skipping, which is important for a consistent treatment experience. In actual use, the performance was reliable. The needles worked smoothly on the skin, and I didn’t notice any bending or breakage. Each cartridge comes individually packaged, which helps maintain sterility and makes them convenient for single-use sessions. The different tip types also give good flexibility depending on whether you want gentler nano-needling or deeper penetration with the 36-pin option. That said, the build quality is a bit on the simpler side. The cartridges have a slightly plasticky feel and a blue-purple tint, so they don’t look as refined as some higher-end alternatives I’ve used. However, since these are disposable, that cosmetic difference doesn’t really affect performance. Pros Great value for a 21-piece mixed cartridge set Includes nano, 12-pin, and 36-pin options for different treatments Secure fit with Dr. Pen devices, no wobbling during use Individually packaged and sterile for hygiene and convenience Needles perform smoothly without bending or breaking Cons Build quality feels a bit lightweight and less premium Plastic housing looks and feels cheaper than higher-end brands Single-use design means ongoing repurchase required Not much differentiation in “feel” compared to more expensive cartridges during use Overall This is a practical and cost-effective cartridge set for anyone doing regular at-home microneedling. While it doesn’t have the premium finish of higher-end options, it delivers where it matters—fit, sterility, and consistent performance. For the price, it’s a very reasonable and useful refill pack for routine skincare use.
