Does anyone know what this plant is? A lady in my Buy Nothing Facebook group gifted it along with a few others she didn’t want, and she didn’t know what it was either. I repotted it and found its bottom looked much like a bromiliad. I’ve had it over a month and it hasn’t changed much. More roots down below (I checked once), and the outer leaves browned and came off. I think it’s making new leaves inside but I can’t tell.
I had to look it up but it looks a lot like gladiolus!

Cast Iron Plant
0개 좋아요 Cast Iron Plant…I have one and 2 leaves are unfurling.
How long does it take to unfurl? I feel like I should have seen some kind of change in its leaves since I got it. I’m pretty good with plants and I have several, yet this one is a complete mystery to me.
