Sansevieria Dark Malaika
Phytosanitary Certificate
Common Name : AFRICAN SPEAR
Botanical Name : Sansevieria cylindrica
Family Name : Asparagaceae
Like its cousin the snake plant, the African spear will also help to purify the air, and it is equally easy to care for. Its tall, slim, cylindrical leaves look like javelins, and the grey-green banding on the leaves adds to the decorative effect. Position the plant where the brittle foliage will not get broken off

ADDITIONAL CARE
If you notice a tip or edge burn often with a yellowish hue at the edge, especially on older leaves, it could be due to your tap water. To solve this, allow your tap water to stand overnight before watering so the chlorine and fluoride can evaporate. Remove any yellow leaves to keep your plant strong and growing. Do not use any shine products on the leaves, instead, clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth
