hosta

Hosta 'Fog Light' should be watered deeply but infrequently. The soil should be kept moist but not soggy. During the growing season (Spring-Summer), water once to twice a week, making sure to moisten the entire root area and not just around the base of the plant. In periods of extreme heat, supplement with extra waterings to prevent the plant from wilting. During the winter months, only water once every 2 weeks, but adjust this if needed depending on the environment and amount of precipitation.

Hosta 'Fog Light' plants prefer filtered sunlight; direct sunlight will scorch the foliage of this plant species. This plant species should receive at least 3-4 hours of morning sunlight, mostly shaded in the afternoon, especially in hotter climates where temperatures rise during the day. Additionally, providing some light shade near mid-day is beneficial for Hosta 'Fog Light' plants. If temperatures are cooler, late afternoon sun may also be tolerated. Therefore, the best solution for Hosta 'Fog Light' is to provide a dappled light situation where the plant receives sunlight in the morning and a bit of shade in the afternoon.

When it comes to pruning Hosta 'Fog Light' plants, the best time to do so is in the late winter or early spring, after the snow melts and the soil begins to warm up. Prune lightly, taking away any dead, brown or dried foliage. Then cut back any stems that have grown too terribly tall. In general, hostas should be pruned back up to about 1-third of their overall size. This will promote fuller, bushier growth throughout the season and help bring the plant back in balance.
