I clip pups all the time from mother's. I loosen the dirt in & around the pup so I can make sure I'm not cutting roots. Sometime's I use a garden spade to lossen dirt slightly so once propping the pup the roots on it don't break. I pot the pups in a non direct sun spot for a week to recoop (grow some roots, and so leaves don't burn either). Then I transition into more light. :^)
