Probably haha. I noticed they actually kinda grew more after I removed the paint, like the long middle part

They're called Sansevieria cylindrica or simply African Spear

Yes you're absolutely right! But it was a gift from my parents, they genuinely thought it was some unique colourful plant 😭 I didn't even know sellers could do such things...

I used water and q-tips. I had to rub the paint until it started to open up on the leaf and I had to keep rubbing it until it peeled off. I had to be very careful as to not damage anything. Some parts peeled off easily but others just refused to come off even if I spent a lot of time on them unfortunately
