Just moving it from the store to your house can cause it; I've experienced this a few times.

Hello @TidySmallleaf93. I see you're in ocean shores, I'm in Aberdeen! I'm sorry this is happening. My first thought is that it's slightly stressed and acclimating to it's new environment. It looks good otherwise. Is there anything else or is it just dropping buds?

Also, the card for it says regular soil. It is technically a succulent, and succulents prefer gritty well draining succulent/cactus soil. So that might be something to look into. Sometimes the plants we buy at the store don't have the proper medium for long term care. Something to consider.

These guys are super sensitive while they're blooming, so like @thenonnon said, going from store to home can make them drop buds.
