# Does anyone know what kind of plant this is and why its bottom leaves…

_Posted by Jody on 2025-01-22_

Does anyone know what kind of plant this is and why its bottom leaves are turning yellow? I just repotted it because its leaves were yellow but wonder if I’m giving it too much water. It started out about an inch tall and is now about 4 inches tall from bottom watering it every other week or so and it was growing really well but the yellow leaves concern me.

Looks like a flaming Katy, they prefer to really dry out between waterings so I think the yellowing is just due to overwatering

Thank you, I thought so. I will wait a good while till I water again

^^Agreed, looks like a Kalanchoe. Mine gets leggy and leaves turn yellow when it’s not getting enough sun too.

mine did this until I started fertilizing, now she’s a blooming queen
