N ventricosa basal question

[kentosaurs]

Hi

Well i just realised that my N ventricosa (main plant/mother plant) is not doing well even after the highland conditions i try to give it....But it has 2 basals and has consistenly give me pitchers which get slightly bigger by each leaves.So since the mother plant is not doing that well (i know sounds weird) I want to cut of the whole mother plant straight down to the moss but not touching its roots.The question is after i do this will it affect my basals????The basal is well probally a few months old i forgot how old probally max 4 months...If it will not affect anything i will just cut it off since my main plant is like a horror site hahaha.
