Thanks :D

You're welcome.

Maybe even a Gasteria Aloe hybrid, I see Gasteria in it too.

Good that you watered 'til some came out the bottom but now, pls. change saucers so the clay pot doesn't re-absorb that water back into the roots, or it'll be too wet & thereby encourage root rot.

Looks like a baby Aloe deltoideodonta to me. I don't see any gasteria in it; all aloes start out with their leaves growing in the same dimension. Remember it is still very immature, and it could change as it matures.

You can keep the lid to protect any furniture, but after watering it, let it sit on some newspaper or something until the bottom is dry. Then you can place it back in the lid. You don't want it sitting in water. Nice little plant gift, hope you enjoy it.

I have one like that labeled as "Aloe Paradisum" hybrid cv. "Jurassic Dino"

Correct asclepiad_fan:

Yes, it is the same company logo on my label. It is imported, which explains why it cost me more than others succulents of the same size. It's the equivalent of $11 in my country. Mine is as big as the labeled one and had many pups which I have repotted. Hope to make more plants by end of next year.

Its Latin name is made up. Fake news strikes us here too. But I agree, pretty plant.

Connie, may I borrow that image?

Cactusmcharris: I was not expecting that, but llifle.com has no such name, which means this is a hybrid. The company is recently introducing the "jurassic" series into our local market. They are misnamed, botanically speaking, but that will not prevent me from finding-out their ideal cultivation needs and potential. Perhaps it is their own hybrid and were the first to name it?

Asclepiad_fan: I paid EUR 4 for it last week, but then I live in the country where it was grown. Here is the website of the nursery: http://www.smitkwekerijen.nl/. If you go to the "Eden collection" page from the menu and scroll down a bit you can download an English brochure.

I have quite a number of plants that have come from this nursery, the quality of their plants us outstanding.

Cactusmcharris: by all means. If you'd like me to take a better-lit shot do let me know, this was just a quick snapshot for the purpose of this thread.

af,

I've never seen that website before - thank you, too. Yes, nurseries have a long history of (mis)naming plants, but it wouldn't matter to me one bit - the plant's chunkiness is very appealing.

Its cultivation is like most Aloes, warmth, light and water and stand back and watch it grow by leaps and bounds.

Connie, sure, that would be great, thank you.
