Dracaena (Sansevieria) zeylanica
Dracaena zeylanica is a rhizomatous snake plant with upright, sword-shaped leaves marked by soft grey-green banding. The foliage rises from the base in a tight clump, giving the plant a calm vertical shape and a muted, natural pattern.
The leaves are pointed, slightly fleshy and held in a restrained green palette with fine transverse markings. In a pot, Dracaena zeylanica develops through basal shoots, gradually adding density around the rhizome.
Flat blades with quiet banding
- Upright, sword-like leaves with grey-green transverse markings.
- Rhizomatous base that gradually adds new shoots around the clump.
- Measured indoor growth with long-lasting foliage.
- Well matched to warm rooms and a sharply draining substrate.
Rhizome, range and container growth
Dracaena zeylanica is accepted botanically under Dracaena, while Sansevieria zeylanica remains the older name many growers still recognise. The species is native to southern India and Sri Lanka, where it grows as a rhizomatous geophyte in seasonally dry tropical conditions.
In a pot, the rhizomes and thick leaves are built for dry intervals, so the plant responds best to a clear wet-dry cycle. New shoots may appear close to the existing leaves, slowly widening the clump over time.
Watering pattern for a dry-season plant
- Light: Give bright indirect light or mild morning/evening sun. In lower light, new growth usually arrives more slowly.
- Watering: Let the pot dry deeply before watering again, then soak evenly and drain fully.
- Substrate: Use a mineral, fast-draining mix with pumice, lava, grit or other coarse components.
- Temperature: Keep warm indoors, ideally above 18 °C, and protect the pot from cold windowsills.
- Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer. This rhizomatous plant needs only modest nutrition.
- Repotting: Repot when the rhizomes press firmly against the pot or the mix has become dense.
Early warning signs
- Soft leaf bases: Check for wet substrate, poor drainage or cold conditions around the rhizome.
- Wrinkled leaves: A very long dry spell may leave the foliage slightly folded or dull; water thoroughly once the pot is warm.
- Pale dry patches: Sudden direct sun can mark the leaf surface, especially after a darker indoor position.
- Hidden pests: Look between the leaf bases for mealybugs and wipe the leaves when dust or pests appear.
Placement around pets and children
Dracaena zeylanica should be kept away from pets and small children who may chew leaves. Ingestion may cause digestive upset, and the pointed leaf tips are better placed where they will not be brushed at face height.
Botanical name and synonym
Dracaena comes from the ancient Greek drakaina, meaning female dragon. The epithet zeylanica means “of Ceylon,” referring to Sri Lanka under its historic name. Sansevieria zeylanica remains a widely recognised synonym for the same plant.
Dracaena zeylanica has flat upright leaves, soft banding and steady rhizome growth in a muted green clump.

Takes the best from coconut oil, leaves the rest
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Regular coconut oil is recommended on paleo and keto diets, but it has a strong flavor and its solidity at room temperature means you can’t really use it on cold foods. This MCT oil derived from organic coconuts is a great solution for salad dressings, smoothies, and bulletproof coffee (even iced coffee!) that is vegan (instead of with butter) and more efficient at giving you energy than with coconut oil. Viva MCT Oil contains mostly Caprylic and Capric Acids, two of the three MCTs that are more efficiently converted to energy (the other one, Caproic Acid, is sort of unpleasant tasting, so they don’t include it in this mix) and very little Lauric Acid, which is a somewhat longer chain that takes longer to break down — some say it shouldn’t even be considered an MCT. Plain Coconut oil is about 75% Lauric Acid, so this oil is much more efficient in conversion to ketones for energy. It basically takes the best things in coconut oil and leaves the stuff that is less useful for ketosis.
And unlike some MCT oils, Viva’s is derived only from (organic, non-GMO) Coconut oil, not Palm oil, so you don’t have to worry about contributing to deforestation in Indonesia and destruction of orangutan and tiger habitat. Although coconuts also can adversely affect ecosystems to some extent because birds don’t nest in them, thereby depriving the surrounding soil of the resupplied nutrients in bird guano, the trees take longer to grow than oil palms, so it’s less worth it to tear down forest to plant them, and there are industry consortiums dedicated to making coconut farms sustainable and eco sensitive.
Although I like the flavor of coconut, there are some things I don’t want it in. For all of those, there’s Viva MCT Oil.
I have asked the company if it would affect the effectiveness if I used it to cook with, there’s nothing on the package that indicates one way or the other. I’ll update this review when I get an answer.

I don't think Mike can produce anything below 5 stars. In his recent Christmas episode on the Naked Bible Podcast I was a bit wary of listening to it. I realize this is a review of his book here, but let me make my point. The problem with not wanting to listen to his Christmas episode is that I don't really care if Christmas was/is a pagan holiday. So, honestly, it wasn't appealing to me. Somehow I ended up listening to it, and I'm telling you the amount of information he crammed in there was FASCINATING. I'm not kidding. I was so tired of hearing that subject (because I've been born and raised into Christianity), but Mike and Trey did their thing and it had me on the edge of my metaphorical seat the entire time. If you listen to that episode (Naked Bible Episode 195) you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. And what's the point of all that I just said? It's that Mike doesn't do anything half way. All that he puts out is serious work that is worthy of much consideration. No Hillary v. Trump fact checking here (though I'm sure he'd encourage you to research what he's saying). The point is, however, that not everyone has the training that he or his contemporaries have. And THAT is exactly why it is paramount that we rely upon scholars who have said extensive training.
I challenge you with this (something I've challenged myself to accept): You essentially know nothing about the Bible if you don't have not just Heiser's background, but other scholars such as John H. Walton. There are many to list, but Walton would be a good companion to list next to Heiser. If you're the lay-person, do yourself a favor and pick up this work, or The Unseen Realm (or both!) and any of Walton's work. Open up your mind and challenge yourself to realize that unless you are incredibly familiar with the Ancient Near East's way of life and thought processes, then it's highly likely that you don't actually understand what is going on when you read the Bible.
Enter "The Bible Unfiltered."
Considerations for the seminary student:
This is a great book for those who need a quick reference on a particular subject. Heiser's name is well known, and thus to reference this book in one's papers, even for a one-liner, is to reference legitimate scholarship. I'm not advocating that one does one's entire paper off of just one chapter from this book, but my point is more-so that with Heiser's reputation it will be known that you're not quoting Joe Scholar who earned his PhD in I Do What I Want. If you know Mike then you know that he's done a lot of work to present to you CONTEXTUAL research on any given listed topic. For that alone the price is worth it (though it undoubtedly cost him more to do the research that it does for us to purchase the book).
Considerations for the lay-person:
1. On p. 7, Heiser says, "If Bible study doesn't seem like work to you, you aren't really doing it." Yes, that's harsh, but so was Phinehas, Peter, Paul, and Jesus. (Even Bonhoeffer was harsh in his "The Cost of Discipleship")! Over and over again Heiser says on his podcast that Bible reading is not actually Bible STUDY (not yelling, I just don't have italics in this comment box).
2. This book is great for having a quick reference for subjects. You do not have to read the book in order to understand the content of any given chapter. I use this book to help direct me to other scriptures that I can't seem to remember. Here, Heiser treats topics with brevity, yet with depth at the same time--depth that stems from years of immersing hisself in the original cultural context, the surrounding culture's contexts, and original languages of the Bible. In other words, this book will act, for the lay person, as an appetizer that gets you excited for the full meal and subsequently spark a desire within you to finally take seriously contextual Bible study. If you've never read Heiser's stuff before, this is a great place for you to get introduced to his work. From here I'd recommend getting The Unseen Realm, and then Reversing Hermon. Follow all his other works at drmsh.com, nakedbiblepodcast.com, and moreunseenrealm.com (I'm not getting paid to say all of this).
Considerations for the scholar:
Rid yourself of your presuppositions, get with the times, and adopt the supernatural worldview of the Bible's authors, because yours isn't supernatural enough. (Can that be considered speaking the truth in love?...)
(Pictures won't rotate for some reason. Sorry!). My hand on the book next to the Schuyler Bible shows the size of the book.
