Zina said:So the leaves don't get much broader on this type of mother of thousands? Or is yours also kind of young?
There are a few species that have the common name of Mother Of Thousands (MOT) which is why I stick to Latin names. The leaves are normal for the species that you have.
Zina said:Yours actually looks like a different variety when I zoom in. I don't think mine blooms, from all the other people I know who have the same one only bigger and hardier. ? Just btw, we've had more than 10 hours of daylight for quite some time. It doesn't ever get down as low as 8 hours. But anyway....
I'm starting to feel like I'm picking on you - I'm not, honest
I just checked my figures re daylight and you're correct, it was just under 9 hours at the winter equinox
Regarding the lack of blooms, they all bloom. A cool spell starts this off with all the MOT species (and a lot of other Kalanchoe species).

Yours doesn't look massively unhealthy, just a bit weak. The good news is that you'll be sorting out the growing medium so that's good.
Personally I wouldn't describe any of them as hardy or think of them as perennial. I grow the plantlets on and then plant them out the following spring once any risk of frost has passed. They make a terrific annual in the borders. Here's a photo of Kalanchoe x houghtonii in the garden in June 2014..........

Maybe
@Baja_Costero could take a look and offer his advice?
