Mine have pups too. I'm leaving them alone. The more the merrier!

Lisa

Thanks Lisa, I will leave them alone. I just wasn't sure if it would drain too much energy off the main pup.

I'm jealous!!! I don't have any pups. How big are your pots, I've been thinking about moving them up a pot size.

I noticed that your Siam has red on her,Evelyn. Mine has red also. I do not have new pups on them but that is OK with me because I would think that new pups on such young plants would drain some energy from the main pups.
I just called our extension office here in Marion county and
I presented the question to a Master gardener. He said that the new pups would not pose any problems to the older pups.
He advised to fertilize the plant and leave her alone. He said it is a normal cycle.
So there you go. That is the voice of an expert. So now I'm jealous too.

Thanks Felix :-)
Barb, I have my two bumped up to 1 gallon pots and the two I am babysitting for Kate are still in smaller pots but they also have pups.
Actually, I am worried that they don't survive, they seem too light/yellowish colored. I had them in full sun (by accident)
I got one plant a couple of weeks before those two and that one is already bright red.

I am jealous of you guys! Yours are so big and healthy.

I just got mine a few weeks ago and repoted them but they are not growing. I have them in my patio (which gets less sun but is sheltered from the wind) because we have had some colder nights and windy days. I was afraid that they were too delicate. They are only about 3-4 inches high. Maybe I need to just put them out in the sun. My guess is that they were shocked because they had to be shipped twice. Is anyone else having this problem or am I losing my semi-green thumb?
