Water: Lilies 'Monte Negro' prefers moisture but cannot tolerate standing water. Maintain a strict watering schedule during seedling development, then reduce frequency unless drought occurs. Water after topdressing and ensure proper soil drainage during rainy periods.

Fertilize: Fertilize seedlings early for nutrient support, then amend soil based on conditions. Apply compound fertilizer before sowing and when seedlings reach 10 cm (4 in) tall, followed by another application during rapid growth and bulb enlargement periods. Amend soil twice during the growing season.

Pruning: Lilies 'Monte Negro' boasts large, deep red blooms and thrives with early to late spring pruning. Remove dead stems and spent flowers for robust growth. Retain foliage until it yellows for nutrient absorption, enhancing blooms and disease prevention for a healthier plant.
