I purchased this plant about a month ago. I have no idea what it is. The bottom leaves have been drying up and shedding but I have new growth on top. Does anyone know what this is and what is the cause of shedding leaves?

Possibly Senecio vitalis. Grow Senecios in a bright spot. Like most succulents, these are high-light houseplants that will take as much sun (or artificial light) as they can get. Water senecios sparingly and only after the soil dries. Take care not to over-water. Senecios don't mind dry air, but they don't like to be exposed to drafts so protect from blasts of hot or cold air that may come from drafty windows or heating/cooling vents.
