Hi, we are new to this forum and also of looking after plants. This
plant that we need identifying was part of our floral arrangement at our
wedding and so has received a lot of love, but now it needs our
attention. Some of the leafs have recently shown a dark blotching,
mostly around its perimeter. These leafs have subsequently started to
wilt. So the help we require is in identifying this plant, and in the
cause and cure of this wilting.

Many thanks, Scott and Cat.

It a form of Kalanchoe, pronounced colen-cowee,

see http://www.examiner.com/gardening-in...oing-and-going

So far as the typical problems are concerned, kalanchoes are most
likely to suffer from leaf spots in humid weather. If your area is
muggy, choose a spot where it can get cross ventilation. Allow enough
space between the plants for good air circulation, which will also
help prevent problems with leaf spot.
