As temperatures warm in northeastern China, Li Meiling has begun looking forward to a better income this year. That's because the cactuses in her greenhouse are growing well.
Li, 33, a farmer from Chaoyang township in Dehui city, Jilin province, started planting cactuses in 2016. The special species she cultivated has been well received in the market.
In 2022, Li made a profit of 100,000 yuan ($14,410) from cactus sales, which greatly enhanced her confidence to promote her business.
