Yes, this works just fine, although its sometimes better they go into containers first so you can make sure they stay moist since they can dry out very easily in this stage. There are methods in which you can go even further and get many more plants from one corm than simply looking at the number of "eyes" (larger apical buds) it has. The techniques in general are called macropropagation and you may find some information on some of the methods if you search with that term. Even very small corm pieces can sprout new shoots so long as there is a bud. I am currently working on a small, illustrated guide to show the different macropropagation methods.
