Anyone know this plant? I moved from Utah it’s only been an inside plant now I am in houston. If you do know can I have it outside. This are all cuttings from my original plant so want to make sure they are ok. I put them outside some times but I don’t want bugs or them to die because of the weather here. Thanks as always friends

Agree, looks like an aloe plant. They are succulents and could grow outdoors in Houston, Texas except for the colder months December-February. The sap can be applied minor cuts & burns and does actually work. It can even calm an upset stomach.

It looks like Aloe nyeriensis, or one of its many hybrids.
Just so you know, Bathgate, only A. barbadensis, A. saponaria, and A. vera are safe to use medicinally--most other species can burn open wounds or burns and cause nausea, diarrhea, and/or esophageal burning.

May be Aloe Arborescens. Look in the A-Z at the foot of the page, then S, then Succulents. There are similar photos there. It would normally be treated as a house plant in Scotland although it can be placed outside in the summer months.
