Tips for Healthy Hostas

Plant hostas in partial to full shade and in well-amended, moist soil for best results. Water hostas regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize hostas in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to promote lush foliage. Divide overcrowded hostas every 3-5 years to rejuvenate growth and prevent them from becoming overcrowded. Watch for pests like slugs and snails, and use organic control methods to protect your hostas.
