Oh. I was only considering whether to cut the stalk. I'm not doing anything with (most of) the pups. (I'm going to cut one out that's in a tight spot next to the edge of the pot, then repot it for propagation purposes.) My only question is whether it is more beneficial to the pups to leave the green leaves of an old stalk (because they derive energy from the mother plant) or cut the stalk so the pups get more sunlight.
The corm is the ground level to underground part, right? The area where the leaf stems connect? I wasn't thinking about cutting into that... certainly not digging it out.
