Can I cut this off and make another plant?

Yes you can! I would wait for it to get a little bigger first (my pup is the same size as the mother now ๐Ÿ˜‚ and still attached!).

When you're ready, it shouldn't take much force AT ALL to separate them, so be gentle with her.

As I'm sure you know, air plants don't have "normal" roots! Rather, a small hard disc at the base of the plant which serves as the roots... All in saying is please don't try and prop her like you would any other plant, coz she won't like it! ๐Ÿ˜‚ X
You should be able to cut it and make a plant out of it yes. It can either be cut with a root, or you can cut it and let it grow its own new roots.
@JenniB81 ok so no water propagation I'm guessing?๐Ÿ˜…
I'd say not hun! ๐Ÿ˜‚ They like humidity but not overly fond of water in the traditional sense! Lol x
