Done.

I've just taken the plant out of the pot and teased the roots apart. The soil around the edge was very moist, but the nearer to the center I got, the drier the soil was. I could still see the shape of the previous pot, it was definitely root bound before and it was very hard to get in between the roots. I took off any dead roots. They were limp, flattened and black in colour.

As of now, I'm letting the roots dry out a bit and I'm letting the soil dry as well. I'm going to replace the soil tomorrow.

I think a lot of the corm is currently above ground, can I put it under the soil with no consequence? There's one tiny pup forming, I thought it had died, but I can now see a small green tip with a blackish head coming out of the corm. I will update this comment with a pic soon.

With the tiny pup trying to pop out, can I take off the pseudostem so the corm expends more energy into the pup?

Corm (or at least the lower part of the plant):



Tiny pup (Thumb for scale):
