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.

Didn’t burn me!
UPDATE: I have been using this soap for a few months now. Usually every other day, as that's when I shower. My melisma is still in full swing. Meaning it hasn't help fade it at all. HOWEVER, I haven't had any cystic acne since using it! For that alone, I will keep using it! My skin feels extra clean using it. Also, I tried it on my privates - since that seems to be all the rage lately. I was very dry and scratchy "down there" afterwards. To the point I needed to apply some lotion or something. (I ended up using some Medela nipple lanolin - figuring that was safe for nips and babies to eat.) If you are going to try to lighten your privates, just know you might feel scratchy, too. Original review: Okay, I have only used this once, but I was terrified to use it after seeing other’s reactions. I did a patch test on my inner elbow, let it sit for a few minutes, washed it off and waited 24 hrs before actually using it in my face. So far, I lathered it up and washed my face. I let it sit for about 2 mins, then washed it off. My face didn’t feel clean, so I followed up with my regular cleanser. Tomorrow, I will use my regular cleanser 1st, then use this soap. I can’t tell if it is helping with my melisma yet, but I just wanted to say that I didn’t have my adverse reactions to it. I will update after using it more. The soap smells good & lathers well. Don’t know about the lightening or brightening effect yet.

Effective and Gentle – Koji White Pure Kojic Acid Soap Delivers Visible Skin Brightening Results!
I’ve been using Koji White Pure Kojic Acid Skin Brightening Soap for a few weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed with the results! If you're looking for a gentle yet effective way to exfoliate, brighten, and improve the appearance of your skin, this soap is definitely worth trying. First of all, the soap is formulated with kojic acid, a powerful ingredient known for its ability to brighten skin and reduce dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. I’ve struggled with some dark spots and blemishes on my face, and after using this soap consistently, I’ve already noticed a noticeable difference. My skin looks brighter, more even-toned, and feels much smoother. The soap itself has a glycerin base, which makes it incredibly gentle on the skin. Despite its exfoliating properties, it doesn’t feel harsh or drying like some other exfoliating soaps I’ve tried. In fact, it leaves my skin feeling moisturized and soft, not tight or stripped. I appreciate that it doesn't have any harsh chemicals, making it suitable for both face and body. The lather is rich and creamy, and a little goes a long way, which makes the bar last for a decent amount of time. I use it in the shower and also apply it to my face as part of my evening skincare routine. It rinses off easily without leaving any residue behind. I also love that this soap is non-irritating, even on my sensitive skin. It doesn’t cause redness, breakouts, or any dryness, which can sometimes happen with other brightening or exfoliating products. It’s perfect for daily use, and I've felt comfortable using it both in the morning and evening. If you're looking for a natural and affordable way to brighten your skin and fade dark spots, I highly recommend Koji White Pure Kojic Acid Skin Brightening Soap. It’s effective, gentle, and delivers visible results without being harsh on your skin. After a few weeks of use, my skin feels healthier, brighter, and more radiant. Definitely a staple in my skincare routine now!

Breaks your skin out!!! Made in THAILAND not Japan
I waited a while to write a review of this Kojic Acid soap because I wanted to give it time to...work. I ordered the soap on TWO separate occasions within a span of six months. There are two bars in the box and both times I ordered, it was delivered on time, and well packaged. Why did I order this soap? I have Keratosis Pilaris and was hoping to find a soap that could help with exfoliation, as well as helping lighten hyperpigmented areas like between my thighs,and other scars or marks left behind from skin breakouts. Usually,I use glycolic peels and lactic acid to help with hyperpigmentation since I have more of a chocolate complexion. So I thought I would give this soap a try. I will begin with the positives. First,this soap is nicely packaged and smells like...ORANGES! The first month,I used the soap... not everyday but a few times a week. I LOVED IT! Between my thighs is lighter now and my skin would feel exfoliated after leaving it on for about five minutes,and then rinsing it off. THEN..... After a few months of using it, MY SKIN STARTED TO BREAK OUT. I'm talking about first,my skin would become EXTREMELY ITCHY. Then little bumps would pop up all over my body. I never had blemishes on my chest area. NOW I DO. I wanted this soap to help me get rid of blemishes! Not to cause them. Even as I type out this review,my skin is itching terribly! I used the soap this morning. My skin is always a bit dry afterwards,but then I use lotion or oil to moisturize. At this point,I am SURE it is this soap that is causing grief. Since I am dark skinned,I now have to repair the damage done from this soap. It's upsetting honestly. I know some people will STILL purchase this soap even though there are numerous reviews of it breaking peoples skin out.But just know,you've been warned about the adverse affects. I'm going to go back to using glycolic acid and lactic acid to help fade blemishes and exfoliate. I will never purchase this soap again.
