watering
Hosta 'Daybreak' should be watered thoroughly when the soil begins to feel slightly dry to the touch. Depending on your climate, this could range from every few days in hot weather to every week or 2 in cooler weather. Make sure the soil doesn't dry out completely as this can damage the roots of the plant. water the soil deeply, so that moisture is reaching the roots and be sure to avoid getting the foliage wet, as this can cause fungal rot.
sunlight
Hosta 'Daybreak' needs around 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight every day in order to thrive. It does best in full sun during morning hours when the sunlight is not as intense, usually between 9am and 1pm. However, be sure to provide some shade during the hottest times of the day, around midday to mid-afternoon, as too much intense sunlight can burn the leaves of this particular hosta species.
pruning
Hosta 'Daybreak' should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Pruning for Hosta 'Daybreak' should involve cutting the foliage back to 4 to 6 inches tall. If needed, small dead or yellow leaves can be removed as well. It is important to avoid pruning too much since Hosta 'Daybreak' benefits from the foliage for photosynthesis.
