Hosta 'Little Razor' needs to be watered about once per week during the growing season. The best time to water is in the morning, so the leaves will have time to dry throughout the day. It is important to water deeply so that the soil is moistened to a depth of several inches. Avoid using overhead watering, as the leaves may scorch or become diseased. Always be sure to avoid leaf blight and root rot by allowing plenty of time for the soil to drain before watering again. If bloom stalks appear, fertilize calledhosta with a balanced liquid fertilizer once every 3 weeks. During winter dormancy, very little or no fertilization or watering is needed unless the plant is moved to a warm indoor location; at this time, water moderately and sparingly.

Hosta 'Little Razor' performs best in partial or lightly filtered shade. This plant prefers moist soil with good drainage, and the soil should be kept slightly moist, but not soggy. In general, providing 6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight per day is sufficient for it to thrive. In warmer climates, morning sun is best, while in cooler climates, afternoon sun is preferable.

For optimum growth and health, Hosta 'Little Razor' should be pruned at least twice a year - once in early spring and again in late summer. In the early spring, you should remove any dead foliage, damaged leaves, and damaged stems. This will help ensure the plant grows strong new shoots and is well-maintained. In late summer, you should do another light pruning - this will help encourage the plant to bloom, as well as keep the growth in check.
