Default Re: Will removal of a Pup negatively impact the mother plant?

Yes/No.

The more you disturb the parent plant's roots, the more affect there will be. Each variety is different. Some are not very sensitive (Misi Luki, etc). Others are very sensitive, e.g. the Cavendish varieties. The affect is more pronounced if you do it very close to flowering.
