Visit Ky Son to see the Thai people's giant succulent plants

Noong De village is home to the majority of Thai Khang people. The village is located on Highway 7 from Muong Xen town to Nam Can border gate with winding slopes as beautiful as a painting. Photo: Sach Nguyen

Next to the stilt houses of the Thai people in Noong De, the hanging stone lotus vines in front of the porch create a unique beauty, especially for those who set foot in this border land for the first time. Photo: Dao Tho

According to research, this is a type of pearl-shaped succulent that hobbyists often look for to collect. In Noong De, people call it "dooc may" flower. "This plant was taken from the forest by our people to plant. After only 2 years, because it is suitable for cold weather, the plant grows very well, almost every house has a few pots" - Ms. Cut Me Van (Noong De resident) said. Photo: Dao Tho

The "dooc may" flower is grown in flower pots or simply planted in plastic tubes. People just add a little sawdust, soil and manure and then put the plant in to incubate. Photo: Dao Tho

In the houses of Noong De village, the stone lotus trellises about 2 meters long spread down like a curtain covering the porch, looking very beautiful. Photo: Dao Tho

According to a succulent player, the most difficult part of caring for this type of succulent is to prevent it from breaking. To have such a “huge” succulent plant requires a lot of effort and care. Photo: Dao Tho

Ms. Duong Me Tun in Noong De said that water resources are scarce here so people rarely water them. This type of tree can grow even longer if watered only a few times a month. Photo by Dao Tho

The lotus flower blooms yellow once a year, usually in the fall. During this season, people plant lotus flowers mixed with other flowers to create a unique beauty. Photo: Dao Tho
