I don't think than an aloe vera... if it is Tha. I've never seen this variety

### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2024-11-02

I agree, doesn't look like an aloe vera... doesn't mean it's not some kinda aloe. Are those bumps on it? Mine gets limp leaves if i don't water it enough.

Yeah they are bumps

### Sunny commented on 2024-11-02

It looks like an aloe. I’m not sure if it’s the Aloe Vera variety. Many varieties of aloe have bumps.

The leaves are very dry based on the flat scrolled shapes. The leaves curl to conserve water.

Ok thank you, I asked my friend if it’s aloe or aloe Vera and she said there’s no difference lol

### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2024-11-02

Yes, there is a difference. Aloe is a genus, and there are some 20+ different species, not including hybrids. Technically aloe vera is Aloe barbadensis. The largest difference being that if you just rub any aloe plant innards on a wound you will often end up with a rash or other issues.

Hey this kind of looks like a haworthia? If so mine drooped when it got way too much water. Maybe try to dry it out a bit more.

### ThumbWasNeverGreen commented on 2024-11-03

Ok thanks
