    Hello, I've searched all over in many plant identifier websites for the name of a certain plant I once tried to grow but dried out because of lack on knowledge of what it likes. It's foliage is very similar to those of aloe with bell shaped reddish flowers (tending to pink). The ones I saw were about 1.5 meters in height and the foliage pattern was strange. From an uptop perspective, the look like a plus sign, however sum are more packed then that having many leaves come from the same point of the stem. They are erect. Can anyone please give me a name?

    More like K. daigremontiana with those broader leaves. You should be wary of growing it outdoors in a subtropical area such as Nuevo Leon. In New South Wales with somewhat similar climate both K. daigremontiana and K. tubiflora have become very bad weeds.
