Default pup size

When separating pups, I have just sort of learned by experience what size is OK, based on the mother.

I recently picked up a FHIA-17 and FHIA-23, which are new to me. The first plant has a 33” pseudostem and a 6.5” pup. I did not remove the pup because it didn’t seem big enough.
The second plant is 37” with a 14” pup (right next to each other, of course. I hate that!).

Is the 14” pup big enough to remove? Or maybe I should just leave it? These are going to be potted up and grown in my house this winter.
