Default Need advice on pup management...

I'm about to repot my this guy into a bigger container and have a couple of questions.



As you can see, there is one pretty good sized pup plus a couple of smaller ones. I believe based on what I've read is that to have the best chance for fruit, I should remove all the pups from the mother? Or should I maybe leave one of the smaller ones.

Also, since this operation is going to take place during repotting, both the mother and pup corms are going to be exposed after making the cuts. I've read varying opinions on needing to leave the corms out for 2 hours to 2 days in order to "cure" before potting. I'm guessing it would probably be okay to repot the mother right away but maybe let the pup cure a little bit in the sun?

Thanks for your help.
