Any ideas how to get my S. pteranthus to branch? It grows nicely but refuses to branch.

If (when) it's large enough, simply take a cutting from the end growth.

The problem is that it is show quality growth. Perfectly even size, color. The growth is kinda loopy but the plant is spectacular.
I don't really wanna cut into it. I was and still am hoping it will branch on its own so as to keep the nice form. I am unsure about using cloning sprays that promote lateral growth. I have not used them on anything but Rhipsalis, which respond well to them.
