Aloha,
You can seperate your pups now. But maybe you might want to wait until it's cooler just for yourself.

But if you can handle the 100 degrees, then pick only the largest pups to seperate as they'll have a larger corm base to feed off of to adjust to independence and they will have an easier time growing. Since it's hot, make sure to water everyday until the first leaf unfurls completely. The plant will have likely grown new roots by then and well on its way to independece. If you want to be more sure of the plant's status then wait 'til the second leaf is growing out before stopping the watering. Good luck!

Aloha KAHOA
