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.
Dracaena angolensis 'Fan' – Cylindrical Snake Plant with Sculptural Fan Growth
Dracaena angolensis 'Fan' (still widely known as Sansevieria cylindrica) is a striking cultivar of Dracaena angolensis (Welw. ex Carrière) Byng and Christenh. This rhizomatous succulent produces stiff, cylindrical leaves that rise alternately from the base in a broad, fan-shaped arrangement, giving the plant its name. Each grey-green leaf tapers to a sharp point and is patterned with faint dark green bands, creating a striped effect. Its unusual structure makes it both ornamental and highly architectural, well suited for modern interiors.
What Makes Dracaena 'Fan' Distinct
- Leaf Arrangement: Wide, fan-like spread of cylindrical leaves, unique among snake plants.
- Foliage Texture: Rigid, rod-shaped leaves with a ribbed surface and pointed tips.
- Coloration: Greyish-green base tone with indistinct dark green banding.
- Collector Appeal: Rare and sculptural growth form, different from upright cylindrical cultivars.
Natural Origin
Dracaena angolensis is native to Angola and nearby regions in southern Africa, where it grows in dry, rocky terrain. Formerly classified as Sansevieria cylindrica, it was transferred to Dracaena after molecular studies confirmed close relations. The 'Fan' cultivar is a horticultural selection, cultivated for its distinctive spreading leaf arrangement, which accentuates its architectural qualities.
How to Grow Dracaena 'Fan'
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates partial shade and some direct sun.
- Watering: Very drought-tolerant; water only when soil is fully dry.
- Soil: Use a free-draining mineral-based mix, such as a cactus or succulent substrate.
- Temperature: Thrives in warmth between 18 – 27 °C; avoid frost.
- Fertilizer: Apply diluted succulent fertilizer a few times during the growing season.
- Containers: Wide pots suit its fan-like spread and slow rhizomatous growth.
Care Considerations
- Overwatering: The biggest risk; roots rot quickly in waterlogged conditions.
- Slow Growth: Naturally slow-growing; new leaves emerge gradually from rhizomes.
- Pest Issues: May attract mealybugs or spider mites if stressed.
- Toxicity: Like other Dracaena, toxic to pets if ingested.
Why Collectors Value Dracaena 'Fan'
Unlike upright cylindrical snake plant forms, Dracaena 'Fan' spreads its leaves in a wide, fan-shaped pattern that creates a living sculpture. This makes it a perfect choice for design-conscious growers who want a structural statement plant that remains low-maintenance and drought-tolerant.
Etymology
The genus name Dracaena comes from the Ancient Greek δράκαινα (drakaina), meaning “female dragon,” referencing the red resin (“dragon’s blood”) produced by some species. The epithet angolensis refers to Angola, where the species was first recorded.
Add Dracaena 'Fan' to Your Collection
