Anyone know how to get this lil baby out of here, or if I should leave in there? I’ve heard something about the mother plant dying once it creates a lil babe..

Try using water and gently remove the air plant.

The little green baby in there? It comes out of the shell..I was asking about the little baby air plant the big red one made..I don’t know what to call it!😭

Don’t worry at least you can have multiple new air plants by leaving the mother plant alone until they become big enough and the mother plant starts to die and planting them fully developed offspring to grow and be it’s replacement.

Call it Little Petey or Little green baby as you suggested.
