I would leave them to continue filling out this pot! So pretty 💚

For most plants, it’s a good idea to wait until the pup (baby plant) is about 1/4th the size of the parent plant before removing it, because it’s pulling nutrients from the parent plant. Once they get that large, you can gently remove them. Might be a good idea to remove some of the soil so you can see the roots of the pups, or you can trim the pup off and propagate to let it grow new roots

But like the other comment said, you could also just leave them and let the pot get more full 🌱
