Don't ever give up on a pup!
I got 2 growing now, recently transplanted, with Zero corm. Man, it was a bad day for me that day. I really did a hack job. No corm at all, just two pup stems.
But I planted them and watered them good. They're doing good now. Both plants. I'd suggest maybe put yours in pots in the shade till they begin to grow.
I think the pups actually have some corm in their stems.
Good luck!!!
