That is a Gasteria, but I couldn't tell you which one.

It is really hard to determine what species Gasteria are. You may have to be satisfied with Gasteria.

Gasteria is good enough, that really helps me know where to put it in the garden. I potted it with some Haworthia today since I read it likes the same conditions, they should be happy together.

That sounds like a great solution. Those plants generally like bright situations but dislike lots of direct sun. Just be aware that the Gasteria will be producing a good number of offsets and over time they may end up taking over. That's easy enough to solve by plucking them out every so often, if you so choose.

Thanks, I do hope so. ☺ I have a nice bowl shallow pot for it, so room to spread.
