I've had this for about 5 years.. not quite sure what it is..

Don't know what to do with it either because it's just going to get longer and longer :?

Any care tips for this particular plant that could make it healthier.
The soil would be a good start

Thanks

I have one that is very similar and mine was just like that intil i repoted it and then it went mad!!Try it and see

Hi,

I belive that it might be a Sedum of some type?

As for making it grow a little better....?

:wavey:

Aloe aristata is the rosette growing in the pot!

The "thing" on the stalk is a Sedum, probably S. allantoides or S. ebracteatum.

Soil=I used normal potting compost,with a half handful of sand and gravel at base of pot!

Basic i know!

compost should be 50% grit or sand
common name sugar almond plant

Hmmm okay thanks.

I will repot it with some sand/gravel etc and see what happens

you can also break off the leaves, bury them one third deep broken end in dry compost and wait for new plant to appear, do not water until it does

Ooh that is helpful because I noticed roots coming through on the ones that had fallen off and just been sitting there on my windowsill!
So I placed a few others that hadn't yet grown roots in water and they just died basically.

You've just solved a mini mystery for me.

Thanks Stephen!

I've "renovated" those by cutting off the younger end of the stalk, letting the cut surface dry, then potting it up vertically in very gritty soil (2 parts J.I.no2 to 3 parts horticultural grit works well for succulents) It will send out new roots before long.

At the same time, if you cut the remaining stalk back to about above the first dormant bud above soil level, you should find it sends out new shoots from all around, so then you'll have two new plants. The rest of the stalk can be discarded.
