Hosta 'Chôkô Nishiki' ON STAGE is best watered twice or thrice a week in the morning or in the evening. Ensure the soil of the plant is kept moist but not soggy and water it thoroughly so that the water penetrates the root zone. Do not forget to reduce the amount of watering during the winter season. In the summer months, water the hosta more frequently if the soil becomes dry quickly due to bright sunshine and hot winds.

Hosta 'Chôkô Nishiki' ON STAGE prefers full to partial shade for optimal growing conditions. This plant should be given 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day. For morning sun, hostas should be placed in an east-facing window or outdoor location that is exposed to the morning sun. For afternoon sun, hostas should be placed in a south- or west-facing window or outdoor location that is exposed to the afternoon sun. If the hosta is kept outdoors in an area with direct sunlight, make sure to provide some morning shade to prevent the leaves from burning. Hostas also benefit from some protection from strong, direct midday and afternoon sun if available.

For best results, prune your Hosta ‘Chôkô Nishiki’ ON STAGE in early spring, when new growth has emerged from the base of the plant.

The final pruning should be to cut the longer center growth by a few inches to encourage the plant to bush out for a fuller, healthier look. With careful pruning, your Hosta ‘Chôkô Nishiki’ ON STAGE should have a beautiful, lush appearance in your garden.
