This is standard. Pere normally puts out a few pups you need to pinch off before focusing on the scion

As stated already, pinch the new stoots as they are redirecting “energy” away from the scion.

Couple ways of looking at it. Every bit of green they add also adds chlorophyll which is the energy used to pump the scion. Yes, you can remove, but a few leaves will ultimately help with growth. Personally if let those few grow and remove later ones.
Oh, and unrooted pere works almost as well as rooted. They root in about a week anyway

Pick them off ASAP. U should check them daily for that

Those new leaves will not feed the scion and is considered a new apical meristem. It will compete with the scion and the plant will naturally prioritize it’s own new growth and the scion will stall. You only want one active apical meristem, the scion.

Is ok, but cut.
