Most likely overwatered. It looks like a succulent and you want them to completely dry out between watering a and they like good light. You might try laying the leaves down on the soil to see if they will root. My best advice is anytime you get a new plant find out the name of it and then research the proper care for it. Unfortunately most people overwater succulents and sometimes we kill a lot of plants before we figure it out.

definitely over watered, unfortunately 😔 for a succulent, any time you see the leaves turning translucent and squishy that means too much water is being absorbed. the black stuff on base of the leaves is rot. succulents are meant to be highly drought tolerant so they easily take on too much water and rot quickly.

to avoid this, you want to make sure the soil is fast draining (very little actual soil and mostly drainage material), make sure they are getting a lot of light, and basically ignore them until the leaves start looking a bit wrinkly 😄
