Preservation of lily

Wet storage: store cut lily flowers in a container filled with water or some fresh-keeping liquid. The preservation solution mainly contains bactericide, sugar, ethylene inhibitor and growth regulator. This storage method does not need packaging, while the wet storage method needs to occupy a lot of space in the cold storage. The wet storage method is only used for cut flowers that are sold normally, stored in small batches or stored for a short period of time. The storage temperature is 65438 0℃ to 2℃, and the longest storage time is 4 weeks.

Water quality has a great influence on the wet storage effect of cut flowers. Try not to use tap water, because tap water has high salt content, and deionized water or distilled water is the best.

In addition, pay attention to the cleanliness of water quality. The stems and leaves of cut flowers are usually polluted by microorganisms from soil or water, and they will propagate in storage solution or flower stem conduit, thus hindering the water absorption of stems and accelerating the wilting of cut flowers.
