Sue you're right.....
It's a kalanchoe, i have a similar one and they're very fussy... if the area I get them growing is sunny I have to give them some water to go with. like one hour sun equals one water mist if you get my meaning. But I used to have one growing in a hanging basket, sold to someone at a fete but before I gave it away it'd dropped a lot of leaves into my garden, and they're flourishing where they are. So I guess they can be made hardy.
As far as I know with Kalanchoes, I just leave the leaf on top of the soil/pot and it'll just grow its red roots and dig all by itself.
Sue's right in that you don't water the leaf at first, it has to grow its roots first. and when you see the roots digging then you can start watering it like you would any other succulent.
