From this week on, you can see 50 succulent plants from 40 genera in 8 families on sat the Distinctive Plant Collection of Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG). The main succulents on display are from the families of Crassulaceae. Euphorbiaceae, Asclepiadaceae, Aizoaceae, Liliaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Amaryllidaceae.
   
  The ability of succulents plants to endure drought is reflected in the succulent stem/leaf  condition where water is stored. The cacti and succulents generally require at least 4 hours of bright, direct light each day. However, some including the jungle cacti prefer medium light intensities and should never be placed in direct light except during the winter.
