I have been trying out the idea of cutting the pups loose from the mother but leaving it in place. The idea is to not disturb the roots of either the pup or the mother but leaving the pup to develope its own root system. I have done this to several plants with no problem. Neither plant showed any shock. If you give it a try let me know the results.
