Propagation: It is simple to propagate the 'Blue Bird' plant by cutting from the mother plant using a clean knife or scissors. Dry it for a few days to create a callous. Use well-draining soil for your new succulent. Water it when the soil dries out.

Except for extremely hot weather in summer, provide it with at least 8-10 hours of sunlight every day.
