Black Prince Echeveria

I had this lovely black prince that one day several months ago inexplicably dropped a bunch of leaves on one side. I think it might have been due to a mini aphid attack, but I can't be sure. So I removed all the affected leaves, and then a few months later I noticed that it started to make a new bud off to one side. A few weeks after that, I noticed that it was making other buds on the other side too! I removed some more leaves to give the buds some room to grow.

I'm thrilled with these new rosettes growing in, but am wondering what -if anything - I should/can do to help this plant. I'm concerned that the three buds that are all growing together might get too crowded. Pics below.

The side with just 1 rosette:

The side with 3 - one is very tiny and on the bottom (only 2 rosettes are visible in this pic:

Another POV - you can see a tiny tiny one forming based on the tiny leaf at the very bottom, under the larder rosette:
