hosta

Hostas require moist soil, but should not be allowed to sit in water. During the growing season, water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Water potted Hostas in the morning, if possible, and spread water around the base of the plant so as not to wet the leaves. During the spring and summer months, Hosta 'Hasta Manana' should be watered about once a week. In hot climates, it may need to be watered twice weekly. In the fall months, Hosta 'Hasta Manana' should only be watered when the soil starts to feel dry.

Hosta 'Hasta Manana' should be placed in an area that receives at least 4 hours of morning sun each day. Avoid direct afternoon sunlight as prolonged exposure may cause burn spots on the foliage. In general, morning sun and indirect afternoon light is best for this plant species. When provided with the right amount of sun, Hosta 'Hasta Manana' will develop lush foliage and robust habits. Be sure to monitor the sun exposure levels of the plant throughout the season and adjust its location if needed.

Hosta 'Hasta Manana' should be pruned in late spring or early summer about 1 month after flowering. You should remove any dead or damaged leaves, stems, and flower stalks as soon as you see them. Once the foliage has died back, you should prune the plant back to the desired size and shape. Deadheading spent flowers will help encourage new growth and promote fresh blooms. It's also important to remove any unsightly or invasive weeds that might be encroaching on the hosta. After pruning, remember to apply a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
