You have several choices here depending on what you want long term. If you keep the plant dry for a while the stems will become more rubbery and bendy, making it easier to braid them more snugly or to unbraid them. More water makes the stems more brittle and more likely to crack, which is also useful to keep in mind if you need to fit them into a box for shipping.

You can prune the branches to keep them from getting long and leggy and to encourage more branching. Pruning is natural because the wind or animals break branches - it happens, but you can do it for a purpose. Over time the pruning scars will fade, rapidly if the plant is growing well.

Another option is you can pull the branches into new positions and secure them with ties, stakes, string, or wire to shape them. You can go for bent, elegant forms, or simply spread them out to give the leaves more space and light and not be so crowded.

Otherwise it looks pretty good to me and hopefully you'll enjoy the flowers. If you can keep the medium drying out between waterings I might hold off repotting it until after it flowers as the buds are apt to fall off if you stress the plant much. Enjoy!

Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions. I had completely forgotten about breakage in nature! I do want to see the flowers, so I have some time to see which way I want to go. My other 3 plants were much larger when I bought them, so I didn't even think about manipulating the branches.

Time to do more research! Thanks again!

Edit to add -

This was the only plant that was braided. I guess that is why I thought maybe someone at the store had done it. And maybe all the other braided plants had already sold so I didn't see the vision.

Bugs too are my major pruners, like mites killing new growing tips and making side buds having to take over. It happens and sometimes you'll be glad later that the growing tip gets damaged, especially on little seedlings. Interesting things can happen, or you can make them happen yourself.

No idea, you could be right about the braiding. I'm with you though that I am not a fan of the plants being manipulated in such a way that they intentionally look artificial when grown, such as braids, loops, etc. But that's very popular in Asia.

If you opt to learn how to wire, here is an example of a pair of seedlings that I had sliced and fused together at the lower caudex. This winter the resulting branches tended to bunch together, so now it's starting to produce new leaves, I am redirecting the growing tips and branches to be shaped more outwards. My hope is to improve the shape and balance, give it more elegance than straight up branches, and give more space for the leaves to get sunlight.

This pair of seedlings are starting their second growing season now but as I grow my plants a bit on the dry side (especially over winter I let them go dormant) they are only about 4 to 5 inches tall here. Soon as they are growing well I'll need to adjust the wire frequently so it doesn't scar but eventually I'll remove the wire and they should look pretty natural.
