Hosta 'Aztec Treasure' should be watered deeply once a week in the spring and summer months. During the winter months, the plant should not be watered as often. Submerge the plant root ball in water for up to 30 minutes and then let it drain to ensure that it is getting enough water. If you live in a hot and humid climate, then you may need to water more frequently. During periods of drought or times of extended heat, it is important to check the soil for dryness and water accordingly.

Hosta 'Aztec Treasure' is an herbaceous perennial plant that thrives in partial shade and consistently moist soil. This plant prefers 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably in the morning or late afternoon. Direct sunlight during the peak heat of the day can cause the plant to get burned or damaged. Placing Hosta ‘Aztec Treasure’ in a spot that is shaded during the heat of the day and more sunlit in the morning and early evening is ideal for optimal growth.

Hosta 'Aztec Treasure' should be pruned in early spring, when new shoots appear. Pruning should be minimal, removing only any dead or damaged leaves and flower stalks, and removing any diseased or damaged foliage. Prune off any faded flower stalks to encourage new growth. Cut back the foliage to no more than 1 third of the original growth to keep the plant compact and healthy.
