How to take care of the newly bought hosta

1. Change the soil

The growth requirements of hosta are very low in soil quality. It can grow normally in the soil provided by the merchant without changing the soil. If you want to change it, you can wait for it to adapt to the new environment and then transfer it to fertile, moist, and well-drained sandy soil for cultivation.

2. Watering

After you bring your new hosta home, you don't need to water it too much, just keep the soil moist. Currently its root system is very weak and cannot absorb much water. In addition, you can spray some water on the plant body or leaves to maintain humidity.

3. Lighting

Hosta does not like sunlight by nature. Do not place the newly purchased hosta in the sun, and do not expose it to strong light, as this will harm it. It can be placed in a cool and ventilated place for cultivation so that it can adapt to the environment faster.

4. Fertilization

Don't fertilize the hosta you just bought. It has just arrived in the new environment and has not yet fully adapted. The plant is relatively fragile. Applying fertilizer at this time will not only fail to promote plant growth, but will cause root burn due to the inability to fully absorb fertilizer.
