(2) Harvest carefully. Search all around and do not overlook or miss any Gastrodia elata. Because the Armillaria mellea around them grows and develops better, there are also more Gastrodia elata, so search thoroughly all around.
(3) Process in time. Harvested arrow tubers should be processed in time, and white tubers and small tubers should be planted or stored in time. Leaving them too long will weaken the lysozyme and reduce the vitality of the Gastrodia elata.
