Thanks for all the information, it really helps :)

This would be a Kalanchoe, which is indeed a succulent.

First of all, I will address the soil. That soil will most likely be loaded with peat. You can easily get perlite from a garden center or Home Depot, and it is really useful for improving drainage. Mix it with cactus and succulent soil about 60% perlite, 40% soil.

Next, light. MOST succulents light a lot of light. If you can keep them outside, that is even better. Full sun is good, but make sure to do a smooth transition to full sun (up the full sun time little by little), otherwise the plant will burn.

Water only when the soil is completely dry. It is easy to check this with a wooden toothpick or skewer (for deeper pots).

That is about all!

Good luck!

I think it's Kalanchoe blossfediana, aka the florist's Kalanchoe. Needs lots more light & improved soil as discussed. Yes, definitely a succulent.

Thank you both! I do also have drainage rocks at the bottom of these pots. So for now I will acclimate into more sun. As for watering I am still confused because I do tend to let the soil fully dry before watering again.

I'd say it's a Kalanchoe (probably Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, English common names flaming Katy, Christmas kalanchoe, florist kalanchoe and Madagascar widow's-thrill). It is etiolated though, it would definitely benefit of more light. Good luck :)

Pls take out the rocks, it's a myth this helps drainage, in fact it sometimes makes things worse. Pls undo & forget that as an idea for potting.

Could be the pots a big too big for plant size, that can keep things too wet for too long.
