You can just pick the babies off, lay them on top of moist soil, and wait like two weeks

They are called hens and chicks. Pull off, plant, done!

Succulents are very easy to prop. If whatever you pull off doesn’t have roots, let ant wound callous for a day or two and stick in some well draining at least 50% non organic soil. Don’t water for a month or so.
Also. What’s the blue rocks behind the pot?

Hens and chicks yes u can take the babies and plant them. They are extremely resilient little guys. Mine don’t die until they bloom and always have them. Even in Massachusetts winters. So that should tell you how sturdy of a plant those truly are.
They’re semperverium. I have a pot of them living in my garden in Scotland and they just get ignored and live out there all year, even in winter, but are thriving! The wee offshoots would grow roots themselves if they were touching more soil. As others have said, you can just pull them off, sit them on top of some moist (not wet) soil and they will take root 😊 They might even flower for you eventually!

Make sure to plant them outside. These guys don’t do well inside.
