Why do diebacks occur on my cast iron plant and how to make it flower?

I acquired this plant last year in July and ever since then there has been about 5 leaves total that died back. It turned yellow before completely falling on the ground. It is a houseplant. It also has some brown spots on it, not much though.

Also, how do I make it flower? I would love to see those purplish flowers on the base of the soil. Do I put it in more sun or do I give it a fertilizer that is very high in Phosphorous?

I am not asking in the houseplants forum because people there are very unhelpful.
