Mary Meyer on Sep 05, 2012sansevieria rotafolia or ..something like that. It is similar to a sansevieria. It is slow to root, but I would put it in potting soil and not water. If it is what I think, it is stiff and has a texture like a standard sansevieria. It's a cool plant.Helpful Reply

Tracy kimbro on Sep 05, 2012I think it is an African Lizard tongue plant that when put in warm water grows feet and arms and attacks people in their sleep . They had a report on the national news tonight that ate up a whole family because they refused to let it watch reruns of Green Acres in russian . They say once you have touched the plant that you must immediately strip down to your underwear cover your whole body in axel grease and peanut butter and run as fast to you can to the nearest sewer treatment plant and jump in . I wish you good luck on removing this plant from your home . I would do it before the next full month comes . I have heard were wolves like to eat them and anyone who has touched a plant such as this one .Helpful Reply

Kim Geoffroy on Sep 05, 2012Not sure what it is called, but I have one I bought from Walmart for $1.00 about 4 years ago, and it grows very well. I would put it in dirt and keep damp. I cut one and did this and it was good. Good luck.Helpful Reply

Dawn on Sep 05, 2012Appears to be a snake plant. Cut stem into 2" segments, lay on paper plate or towel, making sure that the larger (rooting ends) are all facing the same way. Allow to heal for 24-48 hours so scare tissue will form on cuts. Place large end (rooting) in well drained container filled with moist sand. Keep in warm place (70-80*) out of direct sunlight. Keep sand moist. Roots will form in 4-6 weeks.Helpful Reply
