Harvesting and Processing Methods and Technical Key Points for Lilies
In the autumn of the second year after transplanting, when the stems and leaves wither, choose a sunny day to dig them up, remove the stems and leaves, use the large bulbs for medicinal purposes and the small bulbs as planting stock. Separate the large bulbs into scales, place them separately according to large, medium and small sizes, wash off the soil, drain off the water droplets, then put them into water and blanch briefly, about 10 minutes for large scales and 5-7 minutes for small scales, remove them, rinse off the mucus in clear water, spread them out on mats to dry, and when they are 90% dry, fumigate them with sulfur, then sun-dry them until completely dry. The yield is about 200 kg of dried product per mu.
