Fyi… not a cactus. It’s actually an aloe.

That is an Aloe not a Haworthia (aka zebra cactus)

Babe, I’m gonna hold your hand because you are being very loud about being very wrong….what you have is an aloe plant. A very healthy, giant, nice looking aloe. It’s definitely not a cactus. There are lots of different aloe types and varieties.

Firstly, idk what a “Zebra cactus” is, I’m assuming it’s a common name for haworthiopsis (common names are really annoying). You can clearly tell it’s not a haworthiopsis because the flowers look [nothing like it](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77138001-1/images). Aloe’s can definitely be speckled and have “white spots” (example: aloe rauhii) so that means nothing. Google aloe flower if you’re still not convinced.
I believe your misunderstanding comes from not knowing that aloe is a genus with hundreds of species, it’s not an either or between “aloe vera” or “zebra cactus”, there are many more species it could be.

I totally agree with everyone else here saying that this is an aloe of some kind — not a zebra and not a cactus. The hard part is identifying it AFTER THAT! The Aloe genus has like 500 species to start, and this is probably a hybrid, of which there are God only knows how many. Plus, with so many, names often get passed around and mixed up. If you can take a plain top-down shot of it now, that might help.
