Dracaena bacularis, the rod-leaved snake plant, is a rhizomatous succulent from the Democratic Republic of the Congo that can reach about 1.7 m. Grow it like other snake plants: bright light, and let the soil dry out fully between waterings.
Dracaena bacularis (many authorities continue to use its synonym Sansevieria bacularis), the rod‑leaved snake plant, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. It is native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A rhizomatous geophyte eventually reaching 1.7 m (5+1⁄2 ft), it can be distinguished from similar members of its genus by its cylindrical leaves, and by the purple sheathes at their bases.
