Hello!

Can anyone help me identify this plant? I've had it for a while now, but I just can't seem to find out which one it is 😅
It is also getting pretty tall and unstable now, so I was wondering if it would be possible to cut the top and plant it in a separate pot? Would it keep growing or would I kill it?

Thank you for your help!

I am sorry but the best I can do is tell you that it is a succulent of some type. AND it needs a lot more light. Quite possibly 5-6 hours of direct sun, not just bright light but sunshine.

The term is "etoliated". It means that succulents grow too tall as they reach for more light.

Unless you are experienced in succulents and cactus, and know exactly what you are doing, I would not suggest that you cut it at all! You could very easily lose the plant. Some one will identify it.

Thank you anyway @Gina1960 !
Thank you for the explanation @BigBill ! I will try to find a sunnier spot for it then. I'm a beginner when it comes to any plants, so I will rather let it be tall than kill it.

Glad to help ranja77.

I think Gina is right. I have a few Haworthias and they look similar.

Looks like x Gasteraloe, an intergeneric hybrid of Gasteria and Aloe/Aristaloe.
There are quite some variety nowadays, I'm not sure which one.
