What kind of plant do I have?

It looks like a pineapple top, but it isn't related to yucca, agave, bromeliads, cordyline or dracaena. The leaves are 4-5 inches long, dark green, kind of pointy, and grow from the base of the plant all the way up to the top.

You have a bromeliad more than likely. If you want to promote it to bloom, take a small slice of apple and put in the base of it. The ethylene it gives off will promote flowering.
Reply:Could it be Haworthia. Have a look it could very well be. Sounds though it could also be one of the smaller grassland aloes. Ideally a photo would make identification simpler
