I store my water in leaves so thick,
Touch me gently, I might prick.
I come in shapes both short and tall—
What am I, spines and all?
I live in dry places, that’s where I thrive,
With little water, I stay alive.
My leaves are fat, my needs are few,
I’m not a flower, but pretty too.
I look like a rose, but don’t be misled,
My leaves are plump, and I’m not red.
I bloom with care and little fuss,
In dry soil, you can trust.
I’m not a pet, but I grow in a pot,
With waxy leaves and soil that’s not hot.
Forget me for days, I won’t complain—
What am I that loves no rain?
I’m tall and green with arms so wide,
In deserts bright, I stand with pride.
Icon of the Wild West scene,
Guess my name—I’m rarely seen.
My shape is round, I’m small and stout,
Water in me, there is no doubt.
Prickles on me, don’t get too near—
What am I that some people fear?
I’m not a fish, yet I’m called a tail,
I hang and dangle without fail.
Soft and green like little beads,
I grow from tiny little seeds.
I sit on your desk without much care,
Even in shade, I’m happy there.
Water me once in a while,
And I’ll keep growing with a smile.
I’m green and spiky, shaped like a sword,
My gel inside is highly adored.
For burns and scrapes, I bring relief—
What’s my name, can you be brief?
I’m called a plant but look like stone,
Hiding in sand all on my own.
Living but hiding with no fuss,
Guess my name—it’s quite lith-ous.
Some think I’m fake with how I shine,
But I’m alive and doing fine.
My shapes are odd, my colors bright,
What am I that’s a planty delight?
From deserts I hail, not jungles or woods,
I don’t need much, just light and good moods.
People forget me, yet I still grow—
What kind of plant am I, do you know?
You can snap me like a jelly bean,
My leaves are thick and waxy green.
I look so sweet, I could be eaten,
But I’m a plant, and best unbeaten.
I grow in rosettes, not from a stem,
Each leaf looks like a pretty gem.
In pots I sit, so neat and tidy—
What’s my name, both sweet and mighty?
I’m shaped like hearts, but not in a tree,
I’m trailing down so gracefully.
My name speaks love, so take a peek—
What plant am I, unique and chic?
With stems like strings and pearls so green,
I’m one of the prettiest you’ve seen.
In hanging pots I love to sway,
Guess my name without delay!
I’m called a crown, but not for kings,
I’ve thorns and flowers, beautiful things.
Though I can poke, I also charm—
What plant am I on arm or farm?
I grow like paddles, round and flat,
I store my water, imagine that!
I’m nicknamed “Bunny Ears” by fans—
Can you guess me if you can?
I look like a tree, but I’m quite small,
With thick green leaves that rarely fall.
Money I’m said to sometimes bring—
What plant am I, with bling-bling?
My name sounds like a house pet’s game,
But I’m a plant with a serious name.
I spiral upward, not like a vine,
Guess me now, I’m quite divine.
In the morning I open wide,
At night I close with gentle pride.
Though I’m not a clock or bell,
I keep the time and grow so well.
I’m not a zebra, though striped in white,
With dark green leaves and pointed bite.
Small and tidy on the shelf,
Guess my name, go on, don’t shelf!
I look like coral, but I’m on land,
My color’s bright, my form is grand.
Don’t try to eat me from a dish—
What am I? Make your wish!
Though I may sound like I’m always clean,
My leaves are soft and velvet green.
A name that makes some people laugh—
Guess me right, I’m… fuzzy stuff.
I’m not a flower, but I may bloom,
I like dry air, not too much room.
I hold my water, strong and wise—
What plant am I in a small size?
