Some sort of Aloe. Looks great!!!

It’s an Aloe plant just one of the spiky variants. Brevofiola maybe? I am pretty sure I spelled it wrong 😑

I have searched and searched and can't seem to find out what varient!! It just had ALOE when I purchased it. Super cool plant!! But would love to know what variety it is too!

This is a purple people eater, the purple only comes through when they’re exposed to extreme light

I believe it’s a climbing aloe. Here’s mine.

Climbing Aloe I think.

### Nikiller commented on 2026-09-20

Yours looks like a purple people eater as well but without any of the distinctive coloration. They won’t produce the red or purples without getting direct bright light, typically being within 10-14” from a grow light or being in direct full sun.
