It happened overnight. I've had it for about 4-5 months. Its grown from about 3\4 inch (2cm) to one and 1\4 (3.2cm) since then. It didn't seem like it was going to split, except being engorged some. Is that normal? I've kept it lightly watered every 5-6 weeks or so, just when it gets pruny and shrivels\shrinks.
There seems to be what I think is the flower growing in the middle (#5. I was gentle), but it looks weathered already. Is it supposed to die off when they split? I read that it blooms, but it's way too early for that right?
I didn't think it'd start splitting this fast, so the planter it's in is pretty small. Should I think about transplanting it sometime soon?
Thanks for taking a look. I did some research myself. I just wanted to share and get a second opinion. I've grown other succulents, but I haven't gotten the pleasure of experiencing any reproducting yet.

Unfortunately this doesn’t look like a happy split, this looks like it’s split early from being engorged with water.
Do nothing at this point. Here’s a visual chart (northern hemisphere)

First thing is stop pulling it apart. Second is stop watering it… COMPLETELY, until those outer leaves have absorbed completely and the new leaves show signs of thirst.
ETA: The flower in the middle is from a prior flowering. It’ll eventually kind of fall out.
