Zero "corm"....the very bottom of the pup...you can accidentally shave all the roots off and the pup will live if you get the bulk of the "corm bulb".

That works...you can actually cut them off at ground level/below ground level and the corm will keep growing getting thicker.

The key is to have the "right tool for the job"...something that will slice deep and all the way through the point that you are separating the pup.
