*The plant is not toxic to pets*

How should I water my Orbea Variegata to keep it healthy?: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. When you do water, ensure you thoroughly soak the soil, then let any excess water drain away to prevent root rot.
Can the Orbea Variegata be placed in direct sunlight?: Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as this can scorch the leaves and branches. A bright, indirect light spot is ideal for promoting growth without damaging the plant.
Is the Orbea Variegata suitable for beginners?: Yes, it’s an excellent choice for beginners due to its low maintenance requirements. Just provide the right light conditions and water correctly, and it should thrive without much fuss.
