Victoriae-reginae or Queen Victoria agave. I like this plant coz it's easy to care for. I planted it in a small pot, but it grew to the point wherein it had begun to tear its plastic pot. The Queen Victoria agave has thick, very firm leaves (more firm than aloe vera leaves). Each leaf has a pointy spine (second pic) so it's quite painful if you do get pricked. The pointy end is no joke. It is hard and very sharp, so you should be careful when handling the plant. What I love about this is the colorations of its leaves - white lines trace the edges of the leaves and run in the middle of each leaf. Plus the way the leaves form into a rosette is very pretty. Propagation is through division, like most agaves, gasterias, and haworthias. The one here is a mother plant. I did propagate a few when I replanted this a while back. I took the babies, which grew underneath, and planted each one of them; and I'm happy to note that even the smaller ones that accidentally broke off are now actually thriving. ❣️💮🌱
