Sansevieria cylindrica
Bowstring hemp (Sansevieria cylindrica) is an evergreen perennial plant with a unique appearance. It has stiff, upright leaves with light stripes that look like pale green-grey ribbons. The leaves can grow to 2-3 feet tall and the entire plant can reach 4 feet in height. It is an undemanding plant, making it perfect for indoor cultivation. It thrives in well-drained soils, full sun to partial shade, and average to low amounts of moisture. Bowstring hemp is also known for its low maintenance and air-purifying qualities – it absorbs toxins from the environment, helping create a healthier indoor atmosphere.

watering
Bowstring hemp is a drought-tolerant plant, and only needs to be watered about once per month in the summer. During the winter, it can be watered as little as once every 6-8 weeks. When watering, it is important to thoroughly soak the soil and allow it to dry out between waterings. Over-watering can cause root rot and other problems, so make sure not to saturate it too frequently.
sunlight
Bowstring hemp (Sansevieria cylindrica) does best with bright, indirect sunlight. It should receive at least 4 hours of bright light per day, ideally during the morning and/or evening when the sun is not at its peak intensity. Bright, direct light can damage this plant's leaves, so be sure to keep it away from intense midday sun.
pruning
The best time for pruning a bowstring hemp (Sansevieria cylindrica) is once per month towards the end of summer. To ensure healthy regrowth, it is important to not cut off more than 1-third of the total height of the plant. For instance, if the plant is 20 cm tall, you should only cut off 6-7 cm of the leaves. It is also important to ensure that the cut is done above the nodes or growth points on the leaves for encouraging better regrowth.
