I received this plant as a gift from my job a few years ago with no additional information. I was only watering it once a week since I thought it was a succulent and that succulents did not need much water; but I recently learned succulents do like water and I’m not sure if this is a succulent anyways.

Can anyone help me identify this plant and the correct care for it? (I apologize if this is a very obvious situation to most.)

    I agree with @NataliePortland that it’s a sedum (though some I’m familiar with are classified in Hylotelephium). Their suggestions for the potting mix are solid too. I think the pot looks a little on the small side, from what I can see, and would suggest sizing up a bit if you’re able.

    @SomeoneElse makes a good point about the amount of sun it’s receiving as well. I’ve seen some sedums look like this from a lack of nitrogen, or from chlorosis - if your plant is already in a sunny spot this may be an avenue to explore to green it up some.
