I bought this as an elephantipes will the caudex ever round out?

I recently got my first renanthera I am very excited but I notice its pretty top heavy I want to chop but it doesn’t have any arial roots above my pot. Is growing them similar to other tropical plants like a monstera could I create moisture and humidity near nodes along the stem?

This is my first caudex I bought from a local seller but I am confused why it is still actively growing during the summer? I thought maybe because its closer to winter where the plant is from but I dont know if its internal clock is really that strong. I thought leaving the rest period for the year was triggered by temperature?
