Light:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place your Aloe variegata in a bright spot with vivid indirect light. It enjoys sunlight, but avoid prolonged direct exposure, as this could scorch the leaves. An east or west-facing window is often ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2. Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aloes are succulents that prefer well-drained soil and moderate watering. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Water only when the top of the soil is dry to the touch. In winter, reduce watering as the plant enters a dormant period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3. Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the plant in a temperature range between 18°C and 24°C (64°F and 75°F).
