What a happy lil fella! Each time I try to a nest-style succulent as a start it ends up bolting on me really quickly after getting transplanted to soil. Any advice?
It sounds like you're describing etiolation, when the plant stretches out for light. I took this plant from a friend and it was pretty stretched when I got it which led to the beheading. In the picture I (hopefully, new here) included, you can see the before photo. If that's what you're seeing, it needs significantly more light. Try to find a south-facing window in your home or adding a grow light.
Funny - my last attempt was in a matching elephant pot, with the same appearance.
Ok I'll try even more light, my other houseplants seem happy but small succulents have always gone awry on me. My outdoor birds nests do great, they basically grow like ground cover for me. Thanks for the reply!
Succulents are billed as simple, low maintenance plants and often they aren’t. They require a ton of light compared to many other indoor plants. I was pretty surprised to find that out when I did. Now my hobby has turned to an obsession 😂
