When the rain comes
Everything will look as pretty as this.
And in full colour too ;)
Those are two Echeveria plants I have after the rain in the rainy season, which is winter or spring here.

Mine are not doing so well. A couple seem ok, but several have died.
Oh no :( Do you know why?
For me it is always overwatering or when the pot stays wet too long. Their roots don't like it and start to rot.
I kept them under the roof so that I could control the amount of water. We were getting so much rain. They just seemed to melt away and vanish within few days after the lower leaves began turning dark. I just noticed today that the few that are left are growing taller and not staying in nice rosettes, so maybe that means they are not getting enough sun? I feel like a murderer!
The black leaves would mean they did rot. So too much water in the soil or staying wet too long.
When they grow tall - not enough light.
If I remember right you put them all together on one big pot. It might have been too big for them and the soil didn't dry. If you can take the remaining ones and plant them in separate small post (not bigger in diameter than the plant itself). They do not need much space and feel good when the roots are tight. Use more sandy soil or mix the universal plant soil with some sand/grid/perlite/rocks. Do not water until they are completely dry. It is better to keep them dry a bit longer than wet.
I may have to try again when I have the correct kind of pots. I put mine out in the full sun and now the squirrels have been into them. I'll just enjoy yours for now.
Oh boy :(
You can try to pot them in some small plastic coffee cups. Like the ones for espresso. I normally do that with smaller succulents :)
