Identification: Can someone ID this spiky plant

I took a clipping from one of my co-workers because I thought it was an interesting looking plant. He didn't know what it was either. This was about two years ago.

Before there were only two of them about the size of the little ones you see in the back. I kept cutting and replanting them so there would be MORE. The original ones are well... the bigger ones.

Can anyone tell me the name of this plant.

THANKS!!!

 

Might be Aloe juvenna.

I might be wrong...but it kinda looks like a Aloes that I have called Breast Aloes, but that one isnt straight up like mines so am not sure.

 

I've searched various sites for pictures. I saw ones that look like yours, but it doesn't seem to be the same thing. The one I have does not appear as rigid as yours. Also the spikes aren't that sharp.

Thanks for your replies though...

 

Hm-hm... looks like Aloe aristata to me.
(It start "climbing", when don't gets enough sunlight...)

 

I have some thing like this out side and it is quiet strong and upright. I think Lila is right it is looking for more light.

It is Aloe juveana, but since it is not getting proper exposure to sunlight, it seems to be sagging.

 

But the leaves are different... 1. A. juvenna, 2. A. aristata

 

what you have must be same as mine.

 

I hope its getting enough light.

My plant is on the living room coffee table. The window faces the sun for a good portion of the day. On the windows the curtains are white and you can see through them. Well we can see outside but people cant see inside the house.

Hey Sandra do you have a picture of yours?
Does it droop like mine does?

 

Oh I almost forgot to mention.
Mine hasn't flowered in two years.
If its Aloe Aristata is something wrong with it?

That's not near enough light for a plant that gets FULL SUN in nature.

So would putting it on the window sill be enough... Or you can't have these plants indoors?

 

Most likely that would work, however since your plant has adapted to low light
conditions you need to be careful to not move it suddenly to full sun. It could
scorch the new growth. Best to keep the curtain to filter the sun for a few weeks
till the leaves toughen up.
