Looks like it could probably use more light and water. What kind of light is it currently getting? How often is it getting watered? Also, if you can elaborate on the mix you planted in that would help, looks like it has a lot of bark or something similar.

I just bought it yesterday so I really have no idea about water and light. I put orchid mix, perlite, and just a little bit of peat.

I'm not sure if its even a Kalanchoe. The tag said so but I've gotten so many plants with the wrong names!!!

Most kalanchoes have tendency to grow long stems, especially as they age. With lack of light they can elongate even more. If become too leggy, it is easy to start from cuttings.

It looks like Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, with shiny and scalloped leaves. Blooms could be dark red to pink, orange, yellow, and white. Are the leaves similar to plant below?:

I think I see some scalloped leaf edges in the picture? I can't be certain either but my slightly educated guess is Kalanchoe :)

You might want to try searching google images to see if you see some similar to yours to help with identification. I have a few Kalanchoes myself, they all do well in an eastern facing window for me; full sun in the morning and bright light the rest of the day.

Yes Rina the leaves look just like the pic. Just etiolated and not as vibrant. Such a pretty plant even without flowers. I have another plant thats supposed to be Kalanchoe blossfeldiana.

Cari

She knows that it is Kalanchoe, question is which one?

jamila

That one looks pretty good, so new one needs same care.

The plant in my last photo has been started from a woody stem (in photo below) - when original plant got too leggy, I cut it down. I was about the get rid of that piece but I just stuck it into pot and it started growing. I keep them outside during warm enough weather, and they get quite a bit of sun.

Rina, I was responding to jamila saying she couldn't be sure it was a Kalanchoe species because of unreliable plant tags. You posted identifying it as blossfeldiana while I was typing in response. Glad you were able to help.

Typing on the iPad is sooooo slow for me :)

I've just started my fascination with succulents, I'm a tropical girl. I bought that one with the blooms on it. Will they fall off eventually? Or do I have to remove them once dead?

Np Cari, happens to me all the time...

jamila

the flowers eventually dry up, I snip the flower stalks off - they dry up too and don't look that great :)

OK. Thanks so much!!! I was really unsure about it. I actually bought the plant for the leaves and not the blooms!!!
