watering

Hosta 'Jade Cascade' prefers regular, moist conditions and will require watering every 1-2 days. Water the plant until the soil is nicely moistened and make sure to avoid overly wet or soggy conditions to prevent root rot. During the hotter months, make sure to pay extra attention to the water levels, as this plant will require more frequent hydration. Ensure that the soil drains well and don't allow the plant to sit in any standing water.

sunlight

Hosta 'Jade Cascade' is a shade-loving plant species that thrives best in locations that have a filtering of direct sunlight or indirect light throughout the day. They should not be exposed to direct sunlight for more than a few hours at a time. When provided with the right amount of light, Hosta 'Jade Cascade' will grow strong and thrive. Morning sun (before 10am) is tolerated, while late afternoon sun should be avoided. For optimal growth, we suggest providing 6 hours of filtered sunlight per day, split evenly between morning and afternoon light.

pruning

Hosta 'Jade Cascade' should be pruned in spring, immediately after the danger of frost has passed. The amount of pruning should depend on the size and age of the plant - prune more heavily on younger plants so that they maintain a mounded shape and prune only slightly on older, fuller plants. To prune, carefully remove any withered or dead leaves and stems. Prune back the center of the leaves to create a mound effect as desired. If there are shoots that have turned brown or black, cut them off at the base. Prune judiciously, as overpruning can cause harm to the plant.
