Planting and care
Hosta care
Hostas are generally purchased as potted plants which means they can be planted any time during the growing season including summer and fall as long as adequate moisture is provided. Work organic matter into the soil at the time of planting.
If the hosta is root-bound in the container, tease the roots loose before planting. Use a root stimulator solution at the time of planting to encourage root growth, then mulch to a depth of 1 to 1-1/2 . Keep the soil evenly moist for at least a couple of months or until the plant is established.
| Sunlight | Light to full shade. |
| Watering | |
| Soil | Well drained soil. For the best care of hostas, plant them in rich organic soil with a slightly acidic pH. |
| Temperature | The plants need about eight weeks of temperatures below forty degrees. Freeze and thaw can harm the plants if you are in an area that experiences warm days and extremely cold nights. |
