Hosta 'Spritzer' should be watered about twice a week, or whenever the soil feels dry to the touch. Make sure to water deeply and evenly. Avoid keeping the soil too wet or soggy as this can cause the roots to rot. Water the soil around the plant but not the leaves, as moisture on the foliage can lead to fungal diseases. As a general rule of thumb, during warmer months, your Hosta 'Spritzer' may need to be watered more frequently.

Hosta 'Spritzer' plants thrive best in partial shade to full shade. They are not well suited to full sun, and should not be exposed to direct sunlight for more than a few hours each day. The amount of light for this plant depends on the season since the amount of daylight and the angle of the sun change throughout the year. During the spring and summer months, particularly late afternoon and early evening sunlight, this plant should be protected from direct sunlight for about 4 hours. In the winter months, however, the amount of sunlight can be increased, since the sun is lower in the sky at this time of year. In general, Hosta 'Spritzer' plants should be exposed to sunlight between 8am and 4pm, or a total of 8 hours of indirect sunlight each day.

Hosta 'Spritzer' should be pruned in late spring after flowering has finished. Pruning should be minimal, focusing on removing dead, diseased, or damaged foliage. Make sure to choose the right tools when pruning, such as sharp, clean shears for minor pruning. When removing larger sections, use a saw or other sharp tool. The amount of pruning should be minimal, focusing mostly on shaping and encouraging fresh growth. Avoid removing too much of the foliage, as it will reduce the plant’s ability to grow and may even cause death in extreme cases.
