Water: For hosta hybrid in the garden, ensure regular watering during the first summer, keeping soil moist to 15 cm (6 in) deep. Potted hosta hybrid requires frequent watering in summer to prevent browning leaves. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot, and water beneath the leaves to deter pests.

Fertilize: Hosta hybrid thrives in nutrient-rich soil. Use decomposed organic fertilizer in winter or spring, and apply nitrogen and phosphate before germination and blooming. During budding, add phosphate-potassium fertilizer. For potted hosta hybrid, apply liquid fertilizer monthly and consider foliar spraying with urea and monopotassium phosphate to enhance growth.

Pruning: Hosta hybrid thrives with early spring pruning, removing damaged leaves and old flower stems to promote new growth. This practice enhances light and air circulation, stimulates denser growth, and maintains a vigorous, appealing appearance throughout its growing season.

Propagation: Propagate hosta hybrid by division: dig up the plant, wash the roots, and cut through the crown to create segments with at least two shoots. Replant at the original depth, ensuring good soil contact. Maintain consistent moisture and avoid direct sunlight for successful establishment.
