Wow! She has a much bigger caudex underground than she looks like

Actually, if you turned it on the side, it would almost look like a squid or a cuttlefish or something, with the branches being the legs and such

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised as the soil fell away.

This plant is so cool looking better all the time and looks happy in it's new pot.

I need to apply thicker wire on the branches. What's on there now just isn't strong enough to hold them in place.

I was thinking about removing 1/3 or so of the caudex; and doing some root training, but I didn't have the time. I left this plant hanging for almost 4 days (spraying the roots periodically) before repotting, and it didn't drop a single leaf.

They always remind me of the Mandrake plants from Harry Potter.
