Hosta 'Komodo Dragon' should be watered when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. Water thoroughly until you see water coming out of the pot's drainage holes. You should water every 2-3 days, depending on the weather and size of the pot. Try to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering which can cause plant stress and disease. About 1-2 inches of water every week is usually enough.

Hosta 'Komodo Dragon' plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. They enjoy at least 4 to 6 hours of bright, dappled sunlight each day. Too much direct sunlight may scorch the leaves. During summer months, it is best to provide filtered sunlight for your Hosta 'Komodo Dragon' plants. In winter months, the plant can benefit from a few hours of direct sunlight, as it helps to keep it healthy.

Hosta 'Komodo Dragon' should be pruned back each spring as soon as the new growth emerges before the summer heat arrives. The best time to prune is early spring, just as the new growth begins to appear. Prune off any brown or dead leaves and stalks that may be showing signs of age. Remove weak or weedy looking foliage, as these will not contribute to the vigor of the plant. Cutting back stems and foliage can also help open up the plant to allow new growth to emerge. This should be done before the last frost passes in your area. To promote robust growth, lightly fertilize the plant in the beginning of the season and again lightly in late summer to early fall.
