With its unique appearance, it has become a symbol of resilience in harsh environments, thriving in sandy soils and extreme temperatures. The Sogdian spearplant is also valued for its ornamental appeal and has been cultivated in botanical gardens worldwide. Its historical significance in ancient trade routes adds to its cultural and ecological importance.
