Nearly impossible to kill, thrives on neglect are just a few ways to describe Sansevieria cylindrica. Commonly called Cylindrical Snake Plant, African Spear Plant; or Spear Sansevieria, this amazing succulent is native to South Africa.
If you like 'modern-looking' houseplants, Cylindrical Snake Plant (CSP) could be it! Its greenish-gray rounded leaves (think pointy cones) with stripes or markings grow from a rosette at the base. Mature plants will eventually produce white fragrant flowers.
Easy to grow, just give CSP plant what it wants - neglect! Bright light is preferred, but will tolerate a wide range of light conditions. The true key to a long, happy life is proper watering. Water thoroughly (the soil, not the leaves), and then allow the soil to dry between waterings. If and when you need to repot, use a cactus potting soil.
Did you know? Sansevierias are not heavy feeders; fertilize sparingly during the growing season.

Even with good care, poinsettias can lose their appeal (or leaves!) after the holidays are over. It's time to swap that tired poinsettia for some year 'round houseplant enjoyment. Cleaning the air or beautifying a room, we know that houseplants add so much to indoor spaces - homes, dorms or offices - 365 days a year. So, bring us your old poinsettias (doesn't matter how many or if you bought them elsewhere!) and we'll give you 20% off your purchase of any regularly priced houseplant (one or multiple) that same day. Offer good through January 31st, 2015.
