Unknown succulent - variegated leaves

(Army base in South Korea)

Variegated leaves, almost perfectly symmetrical pattern. Leaves seem to be shaped to channel water to the base of the plant.

Hi Bridgette, that's an interesting theory about the channeling of rainwater to the base of the plant - that makes total sense!

Your plant seems to be some type of Aloe, based on the toothed edges of the leaves. In time, it will probably become quite a respectable size, but limiting the size of the pot will keep it smaller and more compact.

See the page on Aloe to see more information on how to grow them. Also check this page on Aloe variegata to compare another species.
