Default Re: First crop

I cut mine as close to the ground as possible and then break off pups with large chunks of the old corm attached as they grow. It's easy to dig straight down into the top of the corm and snap them off. This way you can eventually be rid of the mother corm, get loads of healthy pups, and have more room for new plants. You can also just remove the entire corm after cutting the plant down if you want.
