I did remove the pups. I would like for Mother to go ahead and do her 'thing. It was when I saw she was making pups that I noticed that her growth declined, like her strength was being sapped. One pup did have a few small roots on it so will see how it does. I thought bearing fruit was the last of the Mother stem before she died and she hasn't done that yet. Know there is a bloom inside her....I had another plant the same age and it rotted at the base...I split the stem and it had a bloom inside so feel there is also a bloom inside this Mother.
