Soil replacement: Hosta has low soil quality requirements. After buying it, it can grow in the potting soil provided by the merchant without changing the pot. Watering: For newly purchased hostas, when it comes to watering, just keep the soil moist. Do not water too much, and keep the environment moist at the same time. Light: It doesn’t like sunlight. After buying it, don’t let it shine in the sun for a long time. You can move it to a cool and ventilated place for cultivation. Fertilization: Since it has just arrived in a new environment, there is no need to fertilize the hosta first, because its root system is relatively fragile now and cannot withstand the fertility of fertilizer.

3. Illumination

The nature of hosta If you don't like sunlight, don't put the newly purchased hosta in the sun to cultivate it, and don't let it be exposed to strong light, as this will damage the hosta. It can be placed in a cool and ventilated place for cultivation, so that it can adapt to the environment faster.

4. Fertilization

Do not fertilize the hosta you just bought. It has just arrived in a new environment and has not fully adapted to it. The plant is relatively fragile. Applying fertilizer at this time will not only not promote the growth of the plant, but will also cause root burn because it cannot fully absorb the fertilizer.
