Dracaena angolensis (Sansevieria cylindrica) 'Twister' at a glance:
Dracaena angolensis 'Twister' is a nursery-trained cylindrical snake plant with several leaves braided into a spiral column. The grey-green leaves carry the same subtle banding and drought-storing structure as ordinary forms, but the look is more ornamental. Care remains simple: bright indirect light is ideal, though lower light is tolerated, and the substrate should be a fast-draining cactus mix that dries fully between waterings.
Temperatures around 18–29 °C and ordinary indoor humidity are fine, while cold drafts and excess moisture are the main threats.
Division is the most reliable propagation method, but new leaves produced later may grow straight rather than twisted, because the braided form is achieved during cultivation. It should be treated as toxic if chewed by pets or children.

How to read these metrics
These metrics are standardised reference points. We compile them by reviewing and cross-checking multiple botanical and horticultural references, then refining them through real-world growing experience. Source links: Plant Care Resources.
Please use the values as guidance. Conditions vary by home, so the same plant can respond differently. For plant-specific context, read the full product description and browse our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level + approximate lux at leaf level;
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; lower % stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: one-line profile (structure/drainage • moisture buffer • base • particle size).
- Temperature: “Ideal” comfort range; “Avoid below” marks higher stress risk.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: needed/optional/none, whether stake, pole, or trellis improves structure and size.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.
- Toxicity & safety: chemical irritants/toxicity and physical hazards (spines, bristles).
- Origin & habitat: native region + typical biome/habitat as context.
