Succulent ID
I found (in some kind of gift basket - the other non-succulents were dead) and adopted this plant - I think it's a Kalachoe? It looks like something has been eating its leaves, however, it has been indoors and there are no visible pests on it (I've rinsed the leaves with water but have no pesticides at the moment). Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with it?

Re: Succulent ID
It is a kalanchoe. Roots look good & you have given it the treatment I would go for.
These plants are great in that they will often flower for a year, but eventually die of exhaustion.
Sorry not sure of the ailment; good luck anyway.

Re: Succulent ID
It might be K. blossfeldiana, commonly found in supermarkets and garden centres. The damage looks a bit like a slug or snail has had a nibble...
