OK, first you need to know what a CAM plant is. CAM stands for Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, which is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions. In a plant using full CAM, the stomata in the leaves remain shut during the day to reduce evapotranspiration, but open at night to collect carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 is stored as the four-carbon acid malate in vacuoles at night, and then in the daytime, the malate is transported to chloroplasts where it is converted back to CO2, which is then used during photosynthesis. The pre-collected CO2 is concentrated around the enzyme RuBisCO, increasing photosynthetic efficiency. This metabolism was first studied in plants of the Crassulaceae family. These mainly include succulents.[1] But not all succulent plants are CAMs.

Pineapple, the Jade plant, some Sedums, Spanish moss, cacti, orchids, agave, and wax plant are all CAMs, most of which are easy to grow. In fact some, like the Jade plant and Aloe Vera are almost impossible to kill.

Orchids have a reputation for being fussy, but there are many easy-to-grow varieties. Google easy to grow orchids or go here for a list.

Footnotes

Eccellente spiegazione CAM, Logan. Non ha senso cercare di aggiungere altro. Penso che, forse, mi limiterò a discutere delle piante da coltivazione per bambini.

I bambini, come chiunque di qualsiasi età, possono coltivare qualsiasi pianta se lo fanno bene. Probabilmente il punto di partenza è una ricerca per determinare quale pianta coltivare e quali sono le sue esigenze. I requisiti più importanti sono la luce e l'acqua.

L'elenco di Logan ha buoni suggerimenti, tutti abbastanza facili da coltivare, se hanno abbastanza luce, cioè la luce del sole se all'esterno, o una finestra luminosa esposta a sud o luci elettriche se in casa. Alcune altre per una luce più alta sarebbero adenium (rosa del deserto), morning glory, coleus, wandering jew e spiderwort (entrambi membri del genere Tradescantia), per una luce più bassa si potrebbe provare sanseveria (snake plant) e Z Z plant.
