    Hi,

    My plant's flowers are drooping and paling. They used to be bright yellow. I'd like to take care of it properly, but I don't know what kind of plant it is. I've tried plant ID websites unsuccessfully. Is my plant dying, or is this part of its natural cycle? What should I do to take care of it now?

    It's a Kalanchoe, and it looks good. Flowers only last so long - you probably realize that with garden plants. I read that you can cut off the flower heads when they're not attractive at all any more, and look for them to bloom again next spring. People tend to not want to keep them around the house without the flowers, so usually they discard them since they're so easily replaceable. There's no harm in trying to keep it alive until next year and see what you get. You can read up on Kalanchoe blossfeldiana for the care it needs.
