Light
The African Spear Snake Plant, also known as the Cylindrical Snake Plant, exhibits versatility when it comes to lighting. While it can endure lower light conditions, it thrives with a balance of some direct sunlight and bright filtered light. When placed outdoors, it benefits from morning sun but should be shielded from intense afternoon sun. Indoors, a bright north-facing window is ideal. It’s important to strike the right balance, as excessive light can lead to yellowing at the leaf edges, while insufficient light may hinder optimal leaf growth.
Water
African Spear Plants are well-suited to withstand extended dry periods, but they are sensitive to overly wet conditions, which can lead to root rot. It’s crucial to allow the soil to dry out between waterings and then water the plant thoroughly. Typically, watering once a week to every other week is sufficient. If you’re cultivating your plant in a container, ensure that any excess water draining from the pot is removed from the saucer. During the winter, it’s advisable to extend the time between waterings, typically to about once a month, compared to the more frequent schedule during the growing season.
Hardiness Zones
The Sansevieria cylindrica, African Spear Snake plant is rated for Zones 10 to 11.
