Are these pups?
Next Spring do I try to separate them or just leave them there forever?
I am new at the cacti hobby and THANKFUL for all your help.
Thank you very much.

Re: New pups Question.
Trichocereus like to branch, so leaving the pups alone will not affect your plant. If you rather have a single stem or if you want to propagate your plant, then you should wait until the pups are larger before cutting.

Re: New pups Question.
Yep. Entirely your choice if you want to separate some or all of the pups from the parent, but bigger starts will take hold quicker so no rush if you want to propagate.

Re: New pups Question.
Pups, or offsets, are normal unless the growing point of the plant has been damaged (often known as "gone blind") then the plant has to offset anyway to provide a new growing point. As others have said it is a personal choice as to whether you want to grow a single stem or a multi-stemmed one as grown in habitat?
The advantage of multiheaded plants are eventually instead of getting just flowers on a single stem you get them on all stems, often at once.

There are however a few plants of some species in cultivation that are exceptionally proliferous in producing offsets and so have almost lost the ability to flower. Unfortunately since it is easier for the trade and amateurs to propagate from offsets rather than seed they can become the most widely distributed and available clone and so more difficult to flower. Some Echinopsis fall into this category.
