The storage site should follow the principles of "dry, ventilated, shaded, and light-blocked." Lily bulbs used for storage must be "fully mature, low in moisture content, free of disease and pests, and without wounds." Seed bulbs that have been disinfected with chemicals can be used for storage to reduce rot. The storage method mainly adopts the sand-soil stratification method. Before storage, the lily bulbs should be spread out indoors briefly, but not for too long to avoid discoloration. Then choose a cool room and fumigate it once with 0.3% formaldehyde and potassium permanganate. Then spread a layer of clean garden soil or river sand 5-7 cm thick on the ground, place the lily bulbs upside down on it in neat rows, and cover with another layer of soil or sand about 3-4 cm thick. Repeat this process until the height does not exceed about 1.5 m, then seal the surroundings tightly with soil or sand. They can be stored until the following spring. During storage, check once every 20-30 days. Do not turn them over too much. If any spoilage is found, remove it promptly.
