I removed a pup from this Dwarf Brazilian to send to another member and as you can see 3 leaves have died since the removal. The other almost mature plant in the same stand suffered no damage as it was on the other side of the removed pup. So yes it can affect the health of the mother.

This is the plant the pup was removed from showing damage.

The area where the digging bar meets the soil is where the pup used to reside.

And this is the unaffected plant on the other side of the stand.
