(I didn't take progress pictures - sorry!) I didn't want to go for a cascade on this so I basically cut off most of the super long branches and tilted the plant at a different angle - no root prune
I found that if I took it one cut at a time, a shape began to emerge - I constantly held it in position in the pot to get a better look at it... and stepping away for a few minutes (after misting the roots) also helped because other cuts became obvious then - this plant lost at least half its' branches...
I also wired a few branches for the first time!

anyhoo - It has something that I like a lot more - given that this is a fledgling plant and came from a box store nursery - I kinda like it - even though it's a bit messy on that lower left - I'll let this grow for a long while now, only pinching here and there...

different soil too - lava, turface, bark, sand (tiny kind), small pebbles, a bit of the old soil
