This is obviously my day to disagree.  If the old corms are more than just a bit shrivelled, you may want to do that,
but I wouldn’t, unless they show signs of rot. There is a lot of life force in those corms, which will assist in supporting
any PS or pups connected to them.
To Andreas,
If you do not need that 25gal pot for anything bigger, then use it. I approach things like this: If I were a
banana, what would I prefer, - elbow- (root) room or being jammed into a small pot.
Would I choose feeling transferred into a desert or would I favour being repatriated into something closer to my
home environment: Warm, humid and with the occasional downpour thrown into the mix?
Whatever you decide,
good luck!
Olaf
