Looks like it may be a Gasteria bicolor.

I will look that up. Thanks they tried to tell me it was a snake Plant. Lol

I just asked Siri what a GASTERIA BICOLOR was, and was given very lengthy and interesting information and pictures. You may want to ask Siri, and see if you get this info. You have a very unusual and interesting plant!

I’m curious what you found. I supposedly have one, although a young one. It came from mountain crest.

It is definitely a Gasteria bicolor. I will have to read more about it I just saw pictures thanks
