Take a look at this image, it shows about how much of the mother plant and the angle you'll need to go in at. I use a ditch shovel, but others like to use digging bars.

It's typically best to let the pup get to about a foot before you split it, 2' is even better. If you split them too young/small the corm won't have developed enough yet to make for a healthy plant.
