terrestric or alien?

Post by Tofterigen »

Hi everybody

This afternoon I stumbled on this strange plant at a local garden-center:
Alien Plant_HDR[1].jpg
Alien Plant_HDR[1].jpg (252.92 KiB) Viewed 1149 times
The cross-section of the shoots is circular, diameter of the whole thing about 10 Inch.

Does anybody have any idea? Looks like a Halophyt from the mangrove-beach! Maybe you know better...


Best whishes,

Tofterigen

It looks like a Senecio (maybe S. scaposus)

My immediate thought was some kind of Sansevieria.

Senecio scaposus looks spot on to me.

Thank you for quick help!
Accidentally I bought another senecio last week which looks very terrestric: S. fulgens.
