Water: Lilies 'Altari' prefers moisture but is sensitive to standing water. Maintain a strict watering schedule during seedling growth; reduce watering after emergence, unless drought occurs. Water after topdressing and ensure good soil drainage during rainy periods.

Fertilize: Fertilize seedlings early for nutrient support and amend soil based on conditions. Apply compound fertilizer pre-sowing and again when seedlings reach about 10 cm (4 in) and during rapid growth and bulb enlargement phases. Amend soil twice during the growing season for optimal growth.

Pruning: Lilies 'Altari' features fragrant blooms and benefits from strategic pruning. Trim dead parts in early spring and deadhead flowers to enhance growth and energy redirection. Late spring pruning shapes the plant, boosts airflow, reduces disease risk, and promotes blooming. Verify techniques with reliable sources.
