Wilty
My kolanchoe has very wilty leaves and the whole plant is falling over. Any ideas why or suggestions what to do?

She looks a bit etiolated, where plants get leggy and stretched out due to reaching for more light (also explains that bend in the stem). Also, this particular type of kalanchoe needs to watered more often than other succulents because of their thin leaves, which could explain their wrinkly appearance.
What you can do to fix the legginess it is cut the stems back and place somewhere with more direct light. I see on your plant card it says she's getting 1-3 hours in an east-facing window, which is either not enough hours of direct light, or the sunlight isn't intense enough (east-facing windows get morning sun, which is more gentle than afternoon sun). You can try moving her to a west or south-facing window and see if the etiolation improves. Once she's getting enough light, she'll start growing normally. Just be mindful of watering, since more sunlight means her soil will dry out faster and you'll need to water more often 😊

Thanks, will try that
