Hello everyone,

I've been scouring the web trying to figure out what kind of cactus I received as a gift a little while back and I'm stumped.
The cactus is roughly 8 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter (this is not including the 2 side chutes sprouting from the base).
Also I was wondering if those 2 side chutes are able to be replanted in a different pot to start another cactus?

Below are 2 pictures of the same cactus. The 1st photo was taken about 3 months earlier and the 2nd photo is the cactus now.

This is the first cactus I've ever owned so any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Not a cactus. Look at Aloe instead.

Great thanks Teo that's why I couldn't find it.

It seems to be a severely etiolated Aloe juvenna.

It seems to be a severely etiolated Aloe juvenna.

A. juvenna seems a good call.
It definitely needs more light - it can cope with (and prefers) a lot of direct sunlight, but do the change to much more light gradually over a week or 2.

Will do!
Some of the "leaves" at the base have turned a deep brown and are frail. Will those perk back up to a vibrate green with more sunlight or if they are dead do I need to remove them for new growth to occur?

The bottom leaves of (most) aloe species will eventually wilt and dry up - new leaves will disallowed - see forum rules at the top. It makes no difference if you remove them or not.
