Thats basically what i was thinking except i just wonder if it would be better to stop this pup and wait until next summer before i let one start growing, my thought is that i want more energy going to the mother PS until it is larger. (perhaps another growing season larger). I hadn't thought about the overwintering issues because i plan on keeping it indoors so i expect it should live through the winter.

If it is a water sucker pup Vs a sword pup should i remove it to a new pot?
How long does it take before i can tell the difference between the two types of pups?

Maybe the best thing to do is keep one sword pup each growing season? I'm guessing it may take 3 summers before i see any fruit.

thanks for the help
