Hostas looking sad. Don't worry, Charlie will revive them.

Today Charlie shows us how to transplant our hostas so they will look great next spring.

I have separated my hostas and transferred some to a container. They are now sagging... How can I revive them? If I use garden ties will it grow upright eventually? What do you reccomend?

[@sandragibson2221]

My hosta leaves are turning brown. I planted it in June.

[@ineicesheppard1794]

Something ate my hostas down to the stems after they had grew so beautiful . How can i get them growing back to the beautiful growth that they were. And what can i use to keep the animals away from them?

Dog hair ???spices ???

Probably those asshole slugs. Sluggo is the only thing that worked for me. Go look at night with a flashlight for slugs around and under the crown or on the leaves.

My hosts won't grow, I've tried everthing, I hear they are simple plants, I do have a lot of roots from a bush that I had removed..could that be it, and I was wondering if maybe I'm not digging the hole deep enuff, can you help me

[@dysle4406]

I can't hear you.....

[@gildahernandez3557]

Why does my host having these white looking spots on them and they just came out….should I spray with peroxide? Thank you..

I have hostas that need to be split, but they are in a lot of sun. Is that not good for them?

[@gypsy6799]

No It’s not if it gets really hot in your area. They can get leaf burn. I know this because I had a dogwood tree die and it had hostas planted near the base. Without leaves, They got a lot of Sun and I had to transplant them into partial shade.

[@the6ixconstrictors424]

Do Hosta plants die in the fall or will they stay alive all year round?

[@zagfan44]

They are perennials and come back each spring. I have hostas that are 20 to 25 years old. When I moved to a new home back around 2005, I couldn't bear to leave my hostas at the old house. So I split a number of them and transported the root balls to my new location. They have been thriving ever since. Last year I split them again. You will love your hostas! PS - Keep an eye out for slugs and take preventative action if you see them.

Do you answer questions still? I need help :( had to pull my white feather so I put the big piece in a pot and tried to split the others into @5 single growth stems. Were ok till the heat, now flopping over :( Could it be too much soil, too gritty soil, the heat idk. But how do I revive them? A couple still have a couple roots and one didn't flop yet. Please can you help me save them? Would water therapy help or just drown them?

[@heatherlovesdeuteronomy]

@@haleraiser2299 when you split them, each plant needs to have a piece of the rhizome in order to root.

[@haleraiser2299]

@@heatherlovesdeuteronomy ok so just roots will not make it probably?

[@heatherlovesdeuteronomy]

@@haleraiser2299 probably not without the rhizome.
