I can't give a positive ID, but I believe you may have a variety of Haworthia there, which is in the same subfamily as aloe.

I think I have the same thing as you.. no positive ID yet

I do believe it to be an Aloe, I don't think Haworthias have teeth on the leaves (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

However, it desperately needs more light. Which direction does that window face and how far is it kept from the window? Gradually, 6 inches every 2 days, move it towards the light.

The bright green growth is weak.

Just be sure to gradually acclimate it to the higher light so it doesn't get damaged. It's lucky you saved it :)

I have no idea what kind of Aloe it could be. What does the label say? Sometimes there's a hidden hint on the label. Even an abbreviation.

That's too funny, exactly where I got mine last week. We know one thing, they pup like crazy!

It very well could be, I was looking there's not many pages /much info on it.

You might also check Aloe 'Walmsley's Bronze'. I'll warn you that this plant can really change colors, from green to almost black, with increased light. And I really can't tell the difference in that and the xAworthia that Rina posted.

It looks too big to be the named plant varieties. Too many teeth too.

i have a variegated Walmsley's and it's much smaller. Then I go back and look at your pictures. Let me look at mine. I'll post a photo from my phone, brb.

Different angles, with and without flash. Most of mine isn't variegated and is just the "bronze" when in higher light and less water.

This particular hybrid is really old and of unknown parentage (from my research, if anyone has other information on it, I'm very interested in learning!)

These don't have the teeth like the one in question. I don't think that's something that would change with cultural differences.

makes me wonder if one of them is in the parentage of the other.

One I had ID-ed as 'Walmsley's Bronze' variegata ( also have seen the name 'Stripilicious' :), looked like this when purchased:

They get darker in better light - same as Crenda said.

This is what Monterey Bay Nursery sells as A. 'Walmsley's Bronze':

Yours certainly do have teeth all the way down the leaves! When I bought mine, it was all green and not variegated but labeled as Gasteraloe 'Flow' (not even close!)

when I saw the variegation show up, (very high light and like...no water--wish I would have taken pictures of how bronze it was then!), I thought I had something special then found Costa Farms mislabeled it and only carries Aloe 'Walmsley's variegated'

i plan on separating the variegated pup to grow it in higher light than where I have it now (back to where it was when it developed the variegated pup)

sorry for the derail, OP!

I wonder if it is Aloe ciliaris. I have seen some at HD, similar to yours.

Another option llol. I guess time will tell

I think Rob has it, Matt.

That's a really cool aloe-type. Makes me want to see if my Home Depot has some.

Rob

Do you think it is very young A. ciliaris? That would be 'climbing' aloe, fast growing, with quite recurved leaves (approx. 3 - 6" long) that help to anchor plant as it climbs, and cilia at the very base of leaves. It has large internodes and grows big - long (IIRC, more than 20'):

Comparing these, the leaves looks the same along with the growth habit. Depending on light levels and temps I wouldn't imagine much change. Yeah they do look really cool and only $4

Matt

I also think A. ciliaris is cool - but do you have space for 20-30' aloe that will not survive our winters? I have A. maculata, not a climber, and think it is too big :) I can part with some offsets!

rina, when has that stopped them from selling things? They still sell goldfish and goldfish bowls!

They still tell you to water orchids with ice cubes!

This is a fast-growing aloe so gives almost immediate gratification to the purchaser. They (sellers) have no intention of the plants actually surviving to 20-30 feet; they figure they'll be long melted or crusty and thrown away by then.

That Aloe maculata is a beaut! I have been looking for torch aloe out of all things. I can see it getting that size in it's natural climate/in ground but I doubt it will here. maybe after 10 years+?

I am sure many plants can be grown to stay small - confined to smaller containers. I just wonder if it is possible with plants that are fast growers, and climbers. It's like a bonsai - some plants are just not suitable for it. Maybe I am wrong? (I have to see if I can find bonsai Fiddle leave Fig; or Brugmansia, or monstera...)

Matt - how big and how old is that A. ciliaris? Here's mine when I bought is 4.5 years ago.

The second pic with the bloom was found on the internet. It looked to be about no more then 3-4 feet tall. That's strange you never see flowers.. and sun mostly all winter. Have you seen any others in the neighbourhood?

Cityplants, I posted a picture of this same aloe last week! ;-) it is a pretty one.

I haven't seen any other A. ciliaris around here. On March 10th we have the big plant swap and sale at JayCee Park. I think I'll make an effort to find someone with one so I can ask if theirs has bloomed.

I don't generally fertilize my Aloes. They get a dilute mix maybe once a year, but it's hit or miss for me. I think I'll try that and see if I get any flowers.

I've seen some lovely pictures of flowers on the Internet - and I want some! LOL

"they" told me that the one I bought was a "buncher"/ "grouper". :-) or a clumper.

Looks like many, including OP, are thinking it’s climbing aloe :) We have a similar plant we decided to ID as such as well. We mercilessly pulled a bunch of these guys from a family member’s new house/yard since it looked like it was growing very generously!

Somehow the layering, coloring, and structure of the stem reminds me of scallions.

Toothy guy.

A picture of the difference between cuttings cared for and potted (top right) and some neglected and halfheartedly stuck into bad soil. Same crop, too.

I just saw potfulls of this for sale at Home Depot yesterday. They were all labeled.

Neat, as ciliaris? Did they place them in the succulents section or with groundcover or otherwise? Just curious :)

Yes, as ciliaris, like the Echeveria have their variant name or the Jade 'Gollum' etc. Along with the dracaenas and indoor palms but with the tender succulents. They aren't hardy here, maybe that's the difference?

I hate to say it but do climbing aloes (ciliaris) change color?

Sure, not dramatically like dorotheae for example but they will get orangey-bronzey streaks depending on temperature, light exposure and water amounts (zero or a lot).

Just saw your response hoovb. This is a pup that was separated a few weeks ago. The mother plant is starting to look like this too. It actually looks kinda nice. It's been warm and lots of sun.
