Tips for Growing Hostas

Plant hostas in rich, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter for optimal growth. Water hostas regularly, especially during hot and dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist. Protect hostas from slugs and snails with barriers or traps, and handpick them if necessary. Fertilize hostas in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to support healthy foliage. Divide hostas every few years to prevent overcrowding and promote new growth.
