it looks a little like agave, its leaves are thin, waved and sharp on the edges. I bought it a while ago but I cant find the name of it and therefore I dint know if I'm caring for it properly. Any idea anyone??

It's a snake plant. I don't know the Latin name for it, but that's what we call them. You are supposed to let their soil get a little dry, and then water it, and give it plenty of light.
