When I cut the pstem after fruiting, I cut it at ground level the 1st time.

The time to collect pups from the mother plant is before it fruits. In most situations, you'll have too many pups and be throwing them away before the mother fruits.

- It's not a potato.
- If it has roots developed along one or more edges, you can try cutting it in half so that both halves contain roots, and plant them. This has worked for me about 75% of the time when I accidentally (i.e., clumsily) cut a corm in half while pruning pups from a mother stalk.
With great bias, I again refer you to these guides for more details ... and if you have suggestions on improving the guides, please speak up!
