Are these bald spots from.. growth spurts?

It.. isn't likely from mechanical damage as I keep this plant upright in a holder so nothing touches those sections.

New to these plants, have many questions!

  1. It came in a 4 inch pot but it seems to have so very few fine roots - does that bottom section act as a root itself?
  2. If i don't really care to have a fat caudex can I just pot it in a smaller terra cotta pot? Or will that fat root continue to grow downward?
  3. I don't know if I like how the form of the stems? with the leaves look. If I cut that tallest section off would it hurt the plant?
  4. The body is a little spongey, is that okay?

Saw this at the SF Succulent and Cacti Show

How old do you think it is? It was like 12 inches wide maybe

Showing off my little friend Ive had for a few years

Decided to be more careful with his trichomes so I no longer handle it roughly

How much longer do you think I can get away without up potting?

When should one re pot (in dormancy, in growth?)
It's about 1 cm away from the edge of the current 6-8 inch clay pot

If you had to choose one, which museum membership is most worth it?

I have SFMOMA currently and that gives you access to cool events so Im wondering about the others.

Is this dormant?

Last year I cut the vine off when it was mostly dried and a vine shot out soon after... that made me wonder if it was dormant the entire time I thought it was still awake. Should I leave the vine on?

Shoutout to the Museum of San Francisco (free admission!)

I was walking around and stumbled upon their sign downtown and walked in. What a great little museum that goes through SF's history. They don't seem well known so I wanted to spread the word (Thursday - Saturday 10 AM - 4 PM) 608 Commercial Street San Francisco, CA 94111
