Question

@MeekKiwifruit · Answer

From what I have looked up is the edges of the leaves have teeth it's an aloe if not it's a hawthornia yours looks like an aloe.

But apparently these plants can be hybrided together and they are a lot so is an understandable confusion.

Just found this, hope it helps!

Perhaps the best way to determine whether a plant is an Aloe or Haworthia is to check for teeth along the leaf margins. If the teeth are not obvious, you can try running your finger along the edge of the leaf. If you feel small, rough spikes or teeth, the plant is an Aloe. The teeth are not particularly sharp, like cacti, but be sure to touch the plant gently nonetheless.

Haworthia do not have teeth along the margins. If you run your finger along the leaf’s edge and it feels smooth, the plant is most likely a Haworthia.

This looks like an aloe to me. It is full and very pretty. 💚

Is he still kinda chubby? Or a bit deflated and wrinkly?  If it’s still chubby and not wrinkly it probably doesn’t need water.

I’d also suggest when you repot to use a terracotta or porous pot and a succulent or cactus soil. He would love it!

@planthoe40 can’t help there as I’ve not used it. I just have miracle grow succulent soil and it seems that my aloe and succulents like it fine.

So my plant ID app says this is a lace aloe but this app ...
