Care:

Planting: When planting Hosta Dancing with Dragon's PP# 32040, choose a location that offers partial to full shade. While they can tolerate some morning sun, too much direct sunlight can scorch their leaves. Prepare the soil by incorporating organic matter to improve drainage and fertility. Plant the Hosta at the same depth it was in its nursery container, leaving enough space between plants to accommodate their mature size.

Watering: Regular watering is essential to establish and maintain healthy Hosta plants. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Include Moisture Maxx, non-ionic wetting agent to your routine care. Moisture Maxx can help keep the soil on your new plant or tree moist up to 40 days per treatment. Click here for more information and purchases - Moisture Maxx

Fertilizing: Feed your Hosta Dancing with Dragon's PP# 32040 with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the early spring as new growth emerges. Applying a layer of compost around the plant during the growing season can also provide additional nutrients.

Use HI-COTE 360 timed release fertilizer for all your fertilizing needs. HI-COTE 360 can last up to 360 days on constant feeding, depending on your growing zone and weather conditions. We use HI-COTE 360 every day in our nursery production to keep our plant happy and healthy. Click here for more information and purchases – HI-COTE 360

Maintenance: Pruning faded flower stalks will encourage the plant to focus its energy on foliage growth. As the leaves mature, you may want to remove any damaged or yellowing leaves to maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal.

Dividing: Over time, Hostsa can become overcrowded. Dividing your Hosta Dancing with Dragon's PP# 32040 every few years (usually in early spring or late summer) not only revitalizes the plant but also provides an opportunity to expand your Hosta collection.

• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring as new growth emerges. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to increased susceptibility to slug damage.
• Pruning: Remove spent flower spikes to encourage the plant's energy to focus on foliage growth. Trim damaged or yellowing leaves throughout the growing season.
