watering
Hosta 'Ground Master' plants should be watered regularly and deeply. Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry or every 7-10 days. During dry periods, the soil should be kept moist but not soggy. Water in the mornings for best results. Water the soil and not the leaves, as this will help prevent fungal diseases. Be sure to water evenly around the plant, saturating the soil, until water begins to run through the bottom of the container.
sunlight
Hosta 'Ground Master' is a shade-loving plant species that prefers mostly full or partial shade. It thrives best when it receives at least 4 hours of direct or indirect sunlight per day. To avoid burning the leaves, it is best to avoid too much of direct sunlight and also afternoon sunlight. Alternatively, dappled or light shade is also suitable for the growth of Hosta 'Ground Master'. It's also important to keep in mind that the ideal placement of these plants will vary depending on the season and the climate. In winter, they will require more sun and in summer it's best to reduce the amount of direct sunlight they receive so they keep looking their best.
pruning
Hosta 'Ground Master' should be pruned once a year in the late spring or early summer, after flowering has finished. Start by pruning off any dead or damaged foliage. Next, prune back any foliage that is growing beyond the intended size or shape for the plant. Care should be taken when pruning as the leaves of the plant can easily be cut or torn. It is important to cut just above the emerging bud or at the base of the plant stem to promote healthy growth. Finally, remove any extra shoots that are coming up off the main plant to encourage bushier growth.
