I took it over from a former colleague in the office and am now looking after it. Google Lens and apps like Pl@ntNet have suggested Ponytail Palm or Pandanus (but I think they only have similarities and are not exactly this plant). Does anyone recognize this plant?

I am a gardener, but I am not that much into this kind of plants, but looking at the leafs I too would say it is some kind of pandanus. The edges of the leaves look exactly like the ones at my workplace, they are very, very sharp.

Thank you :). I actually think you're right, and the leaves are indeed very sharp. ๐Ÿ‘
