Sansevieria cylindrica ‘Spaghetti’ (also sold as Dracaena or formerly Sansevieria cylindrica) is a sculptural, slow-growing succulent-like houseplant with smooth, cylindrical, dark-green to blue-green leaves that rise in vertical, fan-like clumps or sometimes braided forms. Its architectural, tubular foliage—often tipped with a darker point—makes it a striking, low-maintenance addition to modern and minimalist interiors.

Lighting

Adapts to a wide range of light conditions, but it does best with bright, indirect light - Ideal for steady growth and fuller, stronger leaves. Place near a north- or east-facing window, or a few feet back from a south- or west-facing window where direct sun is filtered. Avoid prolonged, hot direct afternoon sun on the leaves (especially through glass) as it can cause scorching or yellowing. Short periods of gentle morning sun are usually fine.

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Typically water every 2–6 weeks depending on season and indoor humidity. Be cautious not to overwater, as prolonged moisture can cause root rot.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for succulents or cacti. A blend of regular potting soil with added coarse sand or perlite will improve drainage.

Temperature and humidity

Prefers 15°C–29°C. Tolerates cooler indoor temperatures but must be protected from frost. Humidity is not critical; this plant does well in typical home environments.

Fertilisation

Feed during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength once a month. Reduce or stop fertilising in autumn and winter when growth slows.
