Do you know what plant this is, it’s for my mother☺️ got it from Lowe's. Also do you know what these longer leaves are supposed to be?

it’s a Gasteraloe Beguinii! or a lizard tail. it’s a mix between an aloe plant and a succulent. it’s an itty bitty one, and the longer leaves are probably just trying to spread out to reach light, especially as they tend to grow wider with age :)

Can't really find Gasteraloe Beguinii in Planta should I just put in Gasteraloe Mixed Varieties instead?

you could use that schedule because the watering requirements will be approximately the same, or you could make a new plant category and look up recommend water schedules :)

I have similar, a couple of them actually. I just use the general Gasteraloe for scheduling. You may want to consider a slightly larger pot to give the young ones some room to grow.

And use a pot with drainage. When exposed to lots of light they will turn sort of a burgundy brown. You can see a little of that in my pic above. I prefer the green so I have them in bright indirect light.
