DESCRIPTION

These plants have recently been re-classified as Dracaena Angolensis but are often still referred to under their previous genus as Sansevieria Cylindrica. Popular as ornamental plants due to their distinctive spear like leaves and its easy care requirements, these large, straight specimens make a statement!

African Spear Plants are the among the easiest plants to care for and are actually perfect for beginners or busy plant owners. They tolerate low-light but bright lighting will bring out the best in the plant. Like most succulents, they store water in their leaves so it is best to wait for the soil to totally dry out between waterings.

Due to its low-maintenance and air-purifying nature, the African Spear Plant is also a suitable plant to keep in the office. Slow-growing and tolerant of neglect, it can last for many years indoors.

Important to know: As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary.
