It’s looks like it may be an echeveria. They do not get watered often. Usually about every 3 to 4 weeks or longer. Check the roots but probably too late.

thank you

It looks to be a succulent I. Which case may be getting too much water. If the soil is wet? I’d remove it from pot, remove all wet dirt and allow it to dry out for an hour then repot in fresh soil and wait a week to water it. Usually leaves dropping is a sign of self preservation. Too much or too little water. And may not enjoy direct sun, but indirect sun.. or light

thank you. The soil is very dry but I water it every other week so I’m not sure but thank you
