Why is my plant so unhealthy? Too much or not enough wate...

#Kalanchoe
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 4 days ago
What type of pot do you have it in right now?
Plastic self watering pot
&also what type of soil?when I first got my flapjacks I had no idea &put mine in a plastic pot, anyway when it started not doing well&I had like 2 leaves left (not exaggerating @all)I was told put it in a terracotta pot w some Succulent soil&some extra perlite mixed in&leave it be with the exception of watering when supposed to &it will come back!So I did&today this is what I have.Its not the "biggest "but,it's more than 2 leaves!So I am very happy. I hope you figure out what it is that's going on....
Are you sure it’s flapjacks? It looks like it could be something else
@Gabri1 Hi there πŸ‘‹ I can tell you now the problem is the self watering pot. Flapjacks are succulents and like to dry out in-between waterings. The plastic pot with drainage holes in the bottom is good. Terracotta pots are better but plastic is fine as well. Just as long as you don't over water it.
Thank u all. Hopefully your knowledge will help me be a better plant parent. πŸ˜€
More light, less water.
