Hello everyone and happy Saturday!
I have acquired an aloe plant (I think)...along with a few other fun plants....and I would like to add it to my plant list, but I am not quite sure as to the exact name or species even on one. Could you plant guru's help a poor girl out? ;)

It is an aloe shaped plant but the leaves seem to be full of fluid/water. The leaves are also variegated. It kind of reminds me of watermelon rinds. What do you think?



Thank you in advance!

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

Brea, it looks like a haworthia but I am not sure what one it is.

Pretty! I wonder if it could be a Gasteria or Gasteraloe?

Hello Brea, that is a beautiful Haworthia, not an aloe, it looks like a Haworthia cuspidata that needs a bit more moisture to plump up some more.

This is my plant in early Nov 2015:

I grow it outdoors year round and actively grows during our winter to early Spring, while temps are still cool and gets some rains.

Ohhhh thank you Tarev! I was completely off by thinking it was an Aloe! Thank you for your help and knowledge! And thank you to everyone else who helped me as well!
I have to say that I just LOVE All Things Plants! I just wish I had more time to spend here! I just may have more time coming up soon, so you will be seeing more of me around.
