Total novice but long time gardener who is trying to understand the pup process so take what I say with a grain of salt...

I'd cut back mama 6" at a time and check to see what was left; she may not be dead. If you get to 6" above ground level, I'd stop. The pup looks very healthy to me. I suspect you could unpot and separate it but I wouldn't as long as the baby continues to grow happily; it is getting strength from the corm. However, those leaves look nothing like my obvious sword pups so I wonder if it's a water pup.

I am happy to be educated.
