That looks like an aloe vera. Let it dry out completely before watering and make sure the soil and pot drain well. Aloe will grow like crazy with decent light and being ignored

Oh gosh. I never thought it was aloe bc the leaves are so thin and not plump or gel filled like the typical aloe. Are there different varieties? I have never been able to keep an aloe alive. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽. Thanks!
