Approx height (including pot): 40 cm
Sansevieria cylindrica 'Skyline' is a modern cultivar of the cylindrica species, selected for the vertical arrangement of perfectly straight cylindrical leaves — like miniature "skyscrapers" in a vegetal city. The name 'Skyline' reflects this ascending urban silhouette, architectural and compact, perfectly suited to modern and minimalist arrangements.
The leaves are cylindrical, thick and straight, gray-green with darker horizontal stripes. The arrangement is strictly vertical — different from 'Starshooter' which spreads radially — creating a rectangular, almost planar shape when viewed from the side. It is the perfect shape for modernist corners, designer offices or industrial arrangements.
Like all Sansevierias, 'Skyline' is extremely resistant, tolerates neglect, purifies air at night and survives in variable conditions. An excellent choice for minimalist design lovers who want a plant with strong architectural character.
