hosta

Hosta 'Regal Splendor' should be watered regularly and thoroughly. In general, it prefers moist soil and should be watered at least once per day. In warmer weather, you may need to water it twice a day. Make sure to water the soil, not the leaves, and allow the surface of the soil to dry out between watering. You should also water the plant more heavily at least once a week to help flush the soil of excess salts and keep it healthy.

Hosta 'Regal Splendor' prefers partial sunlight, meaning it requires 4-6 hours of bright, indirect light each day for optimal growth. Place the hosta in an area with bright, filtered morning sun or dappled light for best results. Avoid direct midday and afternoon sun, as this level of intensity may burn and damage the foliage of the hosta. Depending on the amount of sunlight available in its environment, perennial hostas can tolerate as little as 2 hours of direct sun a day, especially if they are grown in moist, rich soil.

Hosta 'Regal Splendor' should be pruned early in the spring before new growth appears. With a pair of pruning shears, trim off any dead or damaged foliage as well as any growth that is pressed against the ground. For aesthetic purposes, you can also trim away any foliage that has become bent or misshapen. This type of plant may also benefit from a light pruning in the late summer or early autumn. You should only lightly trim and shape the leaves, as this will help promote growth and keep the plant looking neat.
