Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it in the least! Mine is about 5' tall to the tips of the leaves and hasn't produced any pups while many other smaller plants have. If you can't overwinter plants outdoors in your area, just bring the large plant in. If it's too tall, you can always cut it back a few feet (won't kill it). At that height it is far from fruiting so you don't have to worry about cutting off a bloom or anything. Basically try to preserve as much of the mother plant as you can as it will benefit its growth in the future. I'm sure you'll get some pups in a while...till then, no worries!
