It's about the sons of this parody and my dilemma
is the following
I leave the children attached to the mother?
the suckers intervene in the growth of the mother?
It already feels a bit cold and there are fewer hours of sunshine
If I have to remove them I will do it until next year
is this decision correct?
any suggestion

Re: I listen to opinions and advice about these children
It depends on what do you want...a big clump or several individual plants?
Particularly I would let most with the mother, to form an impressive clump, but I would also isolate some to serve as backup of the plant.
I don't think it is a good season to do this. Waiting for spring is much safer.

hello mmcavall
Thanks for your comment
I would like the mother plant to be as large as possible, I have seen photos where the
magnificent parody reaches a large size
Another limitation is that I only use pots to be able to move them easily

Leave those with the mother plant: offsets will hide the ugly old part of the stem, a clump always looks better.
One day you can see flowers produced from these pops. Detached they can dry out till next spring.

hello 7george
cold front number 4 is passing through Mexico City, so everything
planned will be done until spring I will take out a few suckers and
leave most of them, I am also excited to see many flowers in a single pot
Thanks for your comment

Usually offsets don't seem to slow the growth down on the main stem. In fact they can be a bonus as George says in that you get flowers on the offsets eventually as well as the central stem.
I want plants that look as how they grow in habitat, not pruned like roses since they them just become boring ordinary garden plants.

Thank you very much for your kind comments Davew has commented on something that I had not thought about or analyzed and he is very right,
I want plants that look as how they grow in habitat
because I also want the same thing so I will only move it to a larger pot before the cold of winter arrives
