Hi! I need some help, I have this plant "Mother of thousands, mexican hat plant, or devils backbone, (Crassulaceae- Kalanchoe diagremontiana)" and no one knows anything about it around where I live and I don't know how to care for mine. It was given to me when it was small and then last spring it got to big for it's container so I replanted it and it got huge, when I replanted it I placed it outside and watched it get big. Then when the weather turned cooler I brought it in, It seemed to do alright for the first few weeks then all of a sudden it started to collapse and looks like it's dying. I water it about once every week. I have not been able to find any information on how to save it. I love this plant and don't want to lose it. Can you help me?

Is it getting enough light and not too much water?
