What plant is this?

@itsjordan · Accepted Answer

I agree with it being an Echeveria black licorice!

I think your plant looks okayish, but can definitely be better— it looks like it needs some more light as it is a bit stretched out. It should look more compact and small… and what Jenna said, it should be in succulent soil and a pot with drainage if it isn’t already.

I don't know, but it looks unhealthy. The pot needs drainage holes. Use a pot the same size as its current pot, but with holes in the bottom. Use a homemade succulent soil mix (find a recipe online) and watch a video on how to repot echeverias.

It should also be in a south-facing windowsill. Make sure all the echeverias and other succulents you get have pots with drainage.

@SimpleSucc · Answer

I can tell it's unhealthy because the leaves are pointing downwards, and they're supposed to be pointing up. And even if it looked healthy, I still would have told you to repot because succulents just can't survive pots with no drainage for very long.
