If I just want to state the truth, not the event already happened, what can I say?

In English, a current state like this is expressed in the past tense.
If you own the pickles, you could tell someone "I am leaving the pickles in the fridge" because it is your ongoing determination.
But another person could say "These pickles should not be left in the fridge for 3 months!"
I can see why it is weird. But the important thing is the "leaving" is an ongoing determination, and "left" means someone abandoned them, without continuing determination. The other person is not aware of the continuing determination, so he says "left".

Because there is a 3 month difference in your example, I cannot think of a way to use present tense. The three 3 months have already occurred.
Without such a comparison, you can say: "These pickles still remain."
But if you try to add the 3 months, it goes into past: "These pickles have remained for 3 months longer than the other pickles."

@kangan987 Someday I might learn. Now I just listen to Chinese music.
It is because I work too much. There is not much time to learn Chinese, but it is easy to help other people learn English.
