I purchased this at Home Depot, it was listed as Haworthia Assorted. Any idea on its ID?

The leaves have toothed edges and are fairly smooth.

    Hello u/Due-Passenger-3995 your plant is not a *Haworthia*, but a hybrid of a *Gasteria* and an *Aristaloe*, called *×Gasteraloe beguinii* (the multiplication sign indicates a hybrid, if you use an “x” instead, you need to put a space between the “x” and the word after it: x *Gasteraloe beguinii*).

    You will see that this plant has an species epithet, instead of a cultivar or variety name. It is because the plant was described in a botanical publication.

    There are a few ×Gasteraloe circulating. Notice that your plant has little “teeth-like” projections on the edges of the leaves? Haworthia, Haworthiopsis and Tulista don’t have that. That is a characteristic from Aloe plants.
