Sansevieria Cylindrica | Cylindrical Snake Plant
ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
The Sansevieria Cylindrica, also know as the African Spear Plant or Cylindrical Snake Plant has all the ease and durability of the snake plant and the appeal of lucky bamboo! The African Spear Plant consists of cylindrical spears that spring from the sandy soil. They can be almost entirely ignored and still thrive. The stiff elongated succulent leaves are truly unique, they have wavy edges and yellow tones, unlike any other sansevieria.
Ever popular as an office plant, it’s also good for mental and physical health being one of the better houseplants at providing clean air. The single leaf of this plant is of wonderful greens and gives the impression of freshness - it’s a great plant for stress relief!
Cylindrical Snake Plant is a fantastic houseplant and brilliant if you want to buy indoor plants online. It also makes a great indoor plant gift - we’ll even include a free, handwritten card with your present! Just leave your gift message at the basket stage of checkout and we’ll sort out the rest - all without leaving any paperwork so the price won’t be seen!

We post to most of the UK, but we’re unable to deliver to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles and the Channel Islands because of higher shipping costs.
When we list a plant’s height, it always includes the grow pot, stem, foliage and living root system — not just what you see above the soil. Because every plant is unique, yours may arrive a little smaller or larger than the size listed.
