Re: Removed a pup - but messed it up....
When I get divisions, I prefer waiting until spring when they are just barely waking up. I will then dig up the entire plant with all the corm, rhizomes, and roots. This way I can see exactly where I separate them.
Taking them in the spring gives them plenty of time to get established, and they are also the most energized. This also allows me to re-plant the mother corm even deeper just to ensure that it is well insulated for our zone 6 winters.
