Arrange the fruits on the shelves with the stalk up so that they do not touch each other, otherwise the pumpkin will quickly rot. Inspect the fruit periodically to remove rotten fruit, if any, in a timely manner.
Step 2
You can store the pumpkin at home on a glazed balcony. Place the pumpkin on shelves, at a short distance from each other and be sure to cover with a thick cloth in order to avoid direct sun exposure to the pumpkin. If the temperature on the loggia is rather low, wrap the pumpkin warmer. The most optimal storage temperature for pumpkin is from 5 to 15 degrees Celsius. There are pumpkin varieties that can be stored at room temperature throughout the winter.
