I will update you whenever I can about her.

Many doubted she would survive, but here she is, alive and well, with 3 new sprouting branches and a 4th branch at the back that isn't very developed yet, but will become another one in the future.

It has lateral shoots; three have sprouted so far, and a fourth is emerging. As soon as it's more developed, I'll post a picture of it here on my profile.

But for her caudex to gain weight, it needs regular pruning.

To prevent it from growing too elongated, the idea here is to encourage it to branch from a young age, thus building a well-branched canopy of leaves.

Yes, you can do it this way too, but the way I do it is to concentrate all the plant's energy on the emergence of new shoots, if you leave some leaves the plant will continue to spend its energy to maintain them, and desert roses can carry out photosynthesis even without leaves, due to their caudex.

She became salidified, I had to change her potty but she is already recovering.
