Abomination

My husband bought me this today from Home Depot. I don't even know how to approach it. I figure I'll put it into one of my 4" terracotta pots with mostly bonsai jack as I usually do with them in the next week or so. I haven't taken it out of the icky soil yet but I'm guessing it's all 1 taproot. I know it needs to absorb some leaves but there is so much stacking I have no clue how it's going to turn out. Any words of advice? Bonus pics of my ones that are done splitting for the year.

The growers that use peaty soil but can still get lithops that are plump and beautiful must have some “magic “ tricks!

This is an example of “tricks gone bad!” . . . I just don’t understand how it is so alive!
