# Hi everyone! I just picked this beauty up from Walmart. I can’t find…

_Posted by Lauryn on 2025-03-25_

Hi everyone! I just picked this beauty up from Walmart. I can’t find an exact match on Planta. When I scan the plant I get “zebra plant” when I type in aloe firecracker, I get “star aloe firecracker” but it’s all green; no red variegation. So planty experts, which is it? Which would be more suitable for planta?

Thanks!

Definitely firecracker! Most succulents get more coloration from sun stress \[basically just a shit ton of light per day\] though it can revert if given less light

I also use the free version to identify plants. It said it was the aloe Christmas carol. The texture on that picture and my plant were not the same. And I saw a Christmas carol in the store also.
