Not really familiar with this species but the planter looks a bit large and soil looks fairly dry

That plant is all the way in shock. That leaf hanging down into the soil is telling you it is in shock. I had a pepper do that to me a few days ago. I used stakes to relieve tension and help get nutrients to every bit of the plant and it bounced back by the next day.

Hostas are great for ground cover because they grow so fast. I put a bud in a pot a month ago and it’s got leaves and stalks coming way out everywhere. I’d just leave it alone and not water it for a week and see what it does. I don’t see anything wrong with its condition.

I’ve never had a Hosta before. Bought it at Costco where they had it outside. I bout it for my front porch but after a couple days I could tell the leaves were burning in this after 3pm Texas sun so I brought her in. For the first time I truly can’t figure out a plant. I tried to prune and clip then water but I just don’t know how she needs to be loved.
