Update on my desert rose!!! not sure if it's good,bad or the same but it's different Shrug!

The cauldex i believe is beginning to firm up.After totally changing it's soil,letting it go totally dry just to give it a total soaking.It is getting new leaves,that has to be a good sign.The leaves are small but they are there.

there are 2 roots high on the cauldex that have always been there but never grew into the soil or done anything until now.They have both grown into the soil and are looking like they make start serving a purpose.

you can see in the picture above when i messed with it,it was like wet card board.So now what do i do about the top?can it be cut off to make it shorter?It will remove the top two limbs but the plant is crooked and is very tall.

this is about mid way down the plant.
this plant has really been a pain Crying
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
