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.

"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 (a resident of Noong De) 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 grow.

To have such a “huge” succulent, one must be very careful and meticulous. 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 it only needs to be watered a few times a month.
