Hurray! Hurray! Wow Chelle, most awesome etoliated sempervivum photos. Good work. Hurray! Hurray!
You are correct, they are not liking indoor growing conditions. To warm, not enough light and to much water.
But they will recover nicely once they get outdoors.

The healthy rosettes at the ends of the long stems can be decapitated and placed on dry potting soil, with just a mist of water, don't deep water. Keep an eye on them until they form roots. Some of them don't look like they would work with this process. I would just make sure they can lay on soil and hopefully start growing roots, they don't seem to have formed a real rosette yet. Shrug!

Right now all of them look to wet.

Keep us updated on their progress. It is such a great learning experience for all of us. Especially me, since I don't grow them indoors.
