Sansevieria Cylindrica Plant Features

Sansevieria Cylindrica, aka African Spear Plant or Dragon Fingers, is the less common relative of the classic Sansevieria Trifasciata but no less fascinating. This variety’s leaves are round rather than flat and grow straight up, fanning out slightly as they age with new growth that tends to have a mind of its own. Snake Plants are known as some of the toughest houseplants due to their low light capabilities and they are also very effective in cleansing the air, as found in a study conducted by NASA.
