# Does anyone know what this is? I’ve had it for years but don’t…

_Posted by Stephanie on 2024-09-03_

Does anyone know what this is? I’ve had it for years but don’t remember what the tag must have originally said. I believe it’s a succulent (it was in a premade container of succulents). Planta scanned it as aloe but I’m unsure.

Here’s another angle of it.

Beautiful! I'm a newbie. My guess is Aloe Vera. It reminds me of my little ones here.

Yours are lovely! I never would have thought this was aloe because mine looks so different to this one! Perhaps a different variety then?

I think it's called a short-leaved aloe brevifolia

#### Stephanie replied on 2024-09-03

I looked that variety up and also came across aloe perfoliata, and I’m actually thinking this looks closer to the perfoliata! Maybe??

Yeah you're probably right!
