You have to go way deep on the corm...think Palmetto Palm..the corm is very thick and attaches close to the parent. Separate when they are short and cut as close to the mother as possible. I have cut them off at ground level (same pup numerous times) just to thin them and when guests come over I would separate a very short plant (that I had previously trimmed) that weighed well over ten pounds. They are very durable...they pop pups out of (all over the) corms that I have dug up and composted.
