Key Points and Detailed Methods for Lily Storage and Fresh-keeping Technology
Lilies prefer warmth and are afraid of cold; after being exposed to wind, the scales will turn red and shrivel. There are many storage methods, and the yellow sand burial method is especially effective. The specific method is:
Build a burial pit indoors with bricks or cement, or use wooden boxes, baskets, etc. as containers. First spread a layer of yellow sand about 20 mm thick on the bottom of the container, then place one layer of lilies and one layer of yellow sand, stacking to about 50 mm from the container opening. Then cover with yellow sand again so that the lilies are not exposed to the air. What should be noted with this method is: the containers used for storage should first be disinfected with a 0.5% bleaching powder solution and used after being sun-dried. Stored lilies should not be turned over too much; generally, do a spot check once every 20--30 days. The storage room should be kept clean and hygienic.
