My guess is Dykia platphylla, or another type of dykia like D. fosteriana. I am not very good at telling them apart. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

hey Curious,

i agree with Wantonamara, it's definitely a Dyckia, but i couldn't tell you the species either. it's a beautiful plant though. very clean and nicely grown. i haven't been able to get mine to flower.

Not an ideal combo of plants - if humid/moist enough to keep the selaginella (aka spikemoss or arborvitae fern) happy, it will be too humid/moist for the succulents sharing the terrarium (looks like a little sedum or stonecrop under the echeveria looking specimen).

Looks like Agave americana to me. I'm not sure if those oddly curled back tips are a result of growing conditions, an over protective gardener, or if it is some specific variety of A. americana.

could be platyphylla ... NOt forsteriana (thinner leaves with huger teeth and wrong color- forsteriana is grey)
