Didn't have time to read all other answers but I wanted to say - I went to a lecture from a succulent guru who said that these guys like to be totally pot bound - they won't bloom until they are feeling like they have enough root system and being pot bound helps them to feel that...I think that is something you said above Tarev, anyway - I had just repotted all mine into large pots and didn't want to repot, so I added small plants all around and now I get random blooms, which is nice, but they're all different colors and styles, which for me I like but more purists probably don't like...
I keep mine indoors from Oct. thru April and water at least once per week, sometimes it is dry inside...
This year I also had a big die off, I realized that the fan I had going was bugging it - not sure why (or even 100% sure if that was it) turned the fan off and the plants are doing much better! 3 different pots of plants were effected, which is why I do think they didn't like the constant wind - even though my other succulents and plants love it.
Now I'm thinking these guys prefer a more sheltered less drafty home.
Please keep us updated! I like getting people's personal experiences - often it is something I hadn't even thought of
Cheers
