2. This is because the pumpkin skin has a certain thickness and is smooth, which can isolate air and moisture, so it can keep the pumpkin for a longer time.
3. Place in a cool place: After the pumpkin is harvested, make a cool, ventilated and dry place at home, then spread a layer of plastic film on the ground and put the pumpkin on the plastic film.
Because of the protection of pumpkin skin, pumpkin can be preserved for two to three months in this environment. In the meantime, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the pumpkin has deteriorated to avoid the spread of mold.
5. Store in the cellar: If there are many pumpkins at home, consider digging a cellar. After the cellar is dug, first lay a layer of wheat straw at the bottom of the cellar, and then pile pumpkins on the wheat straw.
6. Keep the temperature and humidity in the cellar. The humidity should be controlled between 70% and 80%, and the temperature should be between 5 and 10 degrees. Pumpkins can be preserved in the environment for a longer time.
7. In the process of preservation, always observe whether there is corruption in pumpkins, because once pumpkins are corrupted in a sealed space, they will expand rapidly, so it is necessary to remove those corrupt pumpkins in time.
