Not being able to see it directly, I still believe it would be best to cut the stem off
completely withe a sharp non-serrated knife and let the corm develop a new one.
The more smooth the cut, the less chance of disease entering. If the first cut
was
rough it is best to take another slice off at the corm end. The chance of
contamination is very small, but better safe than sorry, especially if you do not
have a lot of pups to fall back on.
