watering
Hosta 'Lakeside Little Tuft' should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Water deeply and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. In hot weather, water the plants once a week until established. In cooler climates, water every other week or as needed. Make sure not to overwater as too much water can cause the plants to rot.
sunlight
Hosta 'Lakeside Little Tuft' plants grow best in partial shade to full shade. Generally, they need at least 4 hours of medium to bright indirect sunlight per day (which would usually equate to morning sunlight), but they can also tolerate shade for up to 8 hours. Excessive direct sunlight can cause scorching and bleaching of the leaves, so direct sunlight should be avoided.
pruning
Hosta 'Lakeside Little Tuft' is best pruned in late summer to late fall. Gardeners should remove faded flowers, leaf tips, and dead foliage to promote a healthy growth. Pruning can also help give a boost of new growth in areas where leaf stalks are starting to look thin or bare. For established plants, lightly trim the outer edges of the foliage to remove spent flowers and any damaged parts. To reduce the size of the clump, remove large portions of foliage in spring and, if necessary, again in late summer, but take care to not reduce the overall size of the plant by more than 1 third. In addition, carefully remove entire leaves that are severely damaged or diseased to avoid the spread of disease.
