Cannot kill it

11 years ago

I purchased this plant at a drug store. No name. I put it in a pot and forgot about it. It sat in a cool room behind one of my large plants and was not watered all winter.

When I put the plants out for the summer I moved the big plant outside and forgot to go back to move this small one outside.

When I moved the plants back in last Fall I gave it a small drink of water and forgot about it again. Until Summer so I put it outside.

It looked like this after a yr and half with one drink of water.

This is what it looks like now. A baby making machine. I guess it is a survivor whatever it is.

Marquest - somehow it spawned a Haworthia limifolia in there too?? I'll take your magical aloe anytime!

Doesn't it kind of look like a gasteraloe when it's all plump and with brood?

No ewwmayo when I put it outside I started sticking other plants in the pot. will help me not forget it next yr. I have a lot of baby Haworthia limifolia and other baby plants I just put it in the pot with my mystery. I tend to ignore a one plant pot. I like combo pots better.

laticauda, When it was starved of moisture I thought it was a aloe. But I agree with you it now looks like some type of gasteraloe. Funny thing is I liked it better when it was skinny and hungry.

You need a "Liberty Bell" Aloe hybrid.

not A hemmingii… could be maculata or some S African relative.

PALMBOB can you please elaborate on the things that brought you to that conclusion? I'd also like to know what to look at/for in the future.

Don't think you would find uncommon ones in a drug store, but I could be wrong.

The drug store is where I have found the most unidentified strange plants.
