Don't know what its called Adam but they are very common, and surprisingly hardy! There is a big one flowering outside that has been out all winter! You'd probably find one labelled in any garden store with a lot of succulents. |

Your plant is Aloe variegata , probably the commonest 'houseplant' in Britain!

Definitely an Aloe but not Aloe variegata which has fewer, thicker leaves. |

Dorts. | That honour would probably go to Spider Plants
Chlorophytum comosum

Commonly called Lace aloe because of the extended ends of the leaves which lace together. They multiply easily, but are ideal for people who kill plants!

As a collecter of cacti and succulent plants, at first i thought it was Haworthia attenuata var but now looking again i am inclined to agree with Dorts that it is Aloe aristata. Those and Gasteria are all related and sometimes it is difficult to tell them apart
Just for info, i does need to be living in soil, preferably John Innes No. 2 or 3 and a handfull of perlite to keep it from clogging, a nice sunny position, conservatory or greenhouse and gentle watering, they will put up with a lot of water but will eventually rot off so f you forget to water for a couple of weeks it wont come to much harm.
