It reminds me a bit of my pineapple plant but your leaves appear wider. Could you take another couple of photos? One more from the side and the second from directly above so we can see the growth pattern of new leaves. Those might give us a better shot of helping to identify it. #### Heather Laneさんが2025-01-09に返信しました Thanks - see below! ### Heather Laneさんが2025-01-09にコメントしました Hope this helps?

My best guess is bromeliad based on the fact that new growth is so much lighter green than the mature growth. Bromeliads typically have showy new growth but can lose the red, orange or yellow colors if they don’t get adequate light. They also tend to grow “up” but then relax and lay down as new leaves come in. I don’t think it is a false bromeliad, (aka basket plant) based on its growth pattern but I could be wrong about even that. #### Heather Laneさんが2025-01-09に返信しました Thank you! I was leaning bromeliad as well. I’m hoping time will tell. 😊 #### Ezzeldin Yaqoubさんが2025-01-09に返信しました Bird’s nest snake plants lack the variegation. ### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-01-09にコメントしました So strange. It looks more like a false bromeliad #### Heather Laneさんが2025-01-09に返信しました Oh - did not know that was a thing. But maybe?! ### Heather Laneさんが2025-01-09にコメントしました She told me that it was labeled as a sansevieria jade star but I have serious doubts. #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-01-09に返信しました A matureish one ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LABcXOiTFudmBUCsau2S0dZnnxDdeMAvwSHhNs7sG2k/LF_7yEAEQne_QRPSDr1Hjw.webp?size=large) ### Ezzeldin Yaqoubさんが2025-01-09にコメントしました Sansevieria bird’s nest snake plant is solid green and not variegated like your plant. So your friend gave you the right bird’s nest snake plant variety label. --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
