Lilies prefer warmth and are sensitive to cold; after exposure to wind, the scales turn red and shrivel. There are many storage methods, among which the yellow sand burial method is particularly effective. The specific procedure is: build a burial pit indoors with bricks or cement, or use a wooden box, basket, or similar container; first spread a layer of yellow sand about 20 mm thick on the bottom of the container, then alternate one layer of lilies with one layer of yellow sand, stacking until about 50 mm below the container rim. Cover the top with another layer of yellow sand so the lilies are not exposed to the air. With this method, note the following: disinfect the storage container in advance with a 0.5% bleaching powder solution and use it after drying in the sun; stored lilies should not be turned over too often, generally with a spot check once every 20-30 days; keep the storage room clean and hygienic.
