watering
Hosta 'Blue Ivory' should be watered thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch; this typically requires watering every 2-3 days during the spring and summer. The best way to water is to soak the soil until water begins to drain out of the bottom of the pot. During the winter months,Hosta 'Blue Ivory' only needs to be watered when the soil is completely dry. Over-watering can be fatal to your plant, so make sure the soil is absolutely dry before adding more water.
sunlight
Hosta 'Blue Ivory' will benefit from 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Early morning sun is preferable with shade during the afternoon when the sun is most intense. This species is known to tolerate more sun than other hostas but will also do well in partial shade. Hosta 'Blue Ivory' should be protected from the afternoon sun during the hottest months when outdoor temperatures reach and exceed 90°F (32°C).
pruning
Hosta 'Blue Ivory' should be pruned once a year, during either the late spring or late summer. Pruning should involve cutting the flower stems and dead foliage. These pruned sections should be cut to the ground. If the plants are growing too wide, the outer leaves can also be removed to keep the plant neat. Pruning in this manner will help maintain the plant's size and shape while encouraging new growth.
