Sand hidden lily

If the lily is buried and stored in fine sand, the oxygen supply for its respiration is limited to a certain extent, which is helpful to prevent aging. At the same time, the temperature and humidity in fine sand are relatively stable. When the lily is breathing vigorously at the initial stage of storage, the sand can absorb part of the water, and when the lily bulb needs water in the later stage of storage, the fine sand can provide part of the water, so that the lily is finally in a more suitable storage environment. Sha Zang can store lilies until next spring.

The lily before storage likes to be warm and afraid of cold, can not bear the wind, and the scales are easy to turn red and wilt after being blown by the wind. Newly harvested lily bulbs should be protected from the sun to prevent discoloration and dehydration of the outer scales. After harvest, the stems and soil were removed in time, the roots were cut off, and the bulbs with white, large, fresh, round, hypertrophic scales, no loose petals and no brown charred petals were graded and stored.

Sand hiding points are buried in brick pits in shady houses or basements. The bottom of the pit is first covered with 5-7 cm thick fine sand, then the lily bulbs are arranged on the sand, covered with 3-4 cm fine sand, and then a layer of bulbs are arranged on the sand, stacked according to this, with a height of 100 cm. Finally, cover 20-30 cm with soil or sand or straw at the top. Cover thickness should be moderate, too thin easy to make lily bulb dehydrated and fresh, covered sand should be slightly dry, too high humidity can easily lead to lily rooting and mildew. It is often checked during storage to prevent heating and mildew in the reactor, and the temperature in the reactor should be 5-11 °C.
