Default Re: Harvesting pups while mother plant fruits?

Exactly as Dan said. I do it all the time but only 1-2 pups. Best way is to plan ahead and keep up your pup management before the bloom.

Just put your finger on the connection. Cut it. Pry and giggle behind the pup as you gently pull it out. I find dry ground helps. You should do very little damage. A fruiting corm doesn’t grow leaves but it does still grow roots also. So if done correctly it will not be affected at all.
