Hi,

I am afraid it is just about impossible to say what the plant is, but it is almost certainly not a cactus. Maybe it could be a Sanseviera or similar. Try looking at those on the web and see what you think.

Hi

I just wonder if it's some sort of Crassula ovata? ('Gollum' seems to be very popular now-a-days)

I never cease to be amazed at what our members can come up with. Well done tinsel.

It is Gollum or Hobbit. Gollum has tubular leaves. The leaves of Hobbit are only curved.

I'm guessing that this "Gollum" plant looks something like mine?

WOW! That was quite an ID. I would have said Sanseviera too.

John -I guess that's what you get for using a word like impossible.

I guess your right Daiv, must remember not to use that one again. Nothing is impossible for these guys and gals.
