    Hello,

    Can someone please tell me what these plants are? I got 2 them from my friend's mom, and she didn't know what they were, and the third I've had around my house for years but was never sure as to what it was. Thanks

    -Ryan

    Thank you! Though could you be a little more specific? I know there are approximately a bajillion different kinds of dracaena out there (rough guesstimate) and I'd like to know which this one is. Also this sanservieria looks a lot different than the other one I have, which has much longer, pointier leaves than the one in this picture. I assume they are different species? Or maybe it's a dwarf variety? Any more information would be great.

    d. marginata 'tricolor', the sans probably is a dwarf type and the aloe could be one a few different varieties...flowers assist with id's for these plants, so you may have to wait until it flowers for you. could be a. zebrina, i'm not real good with aloe id's though :) in general, it looks a bit etoliated - might want to give it some more sun.

    #1 mine is just listed as Haworthia 'hybrid'
    #2 is Sansevieria Trifisciata 'Hahnii' or Birds-Nest Sansev.
    #3 Could be either d. marginata 'tricolor' if there is more color than green w/ red edges. If just green w. the red edges it probably 'Marginata'.
    Take a look at these on-line and see which pictires match best. barb
