My Hostas Are Not Growing
Stunted growth, caused by a variety of issues, is typically avoidable through optimal care. Vigorous plants have a greater capacity to elude and recover from problems that lead to injury. Grow hostas in areas that provide full sunlight in the morning and shaded conditions during the afternoon, when possible. Hostas simply will not tolerate extreme shade or all day sunlight. Cultivate hostas in moist, well-drained, slightly acid loam soil high in organic content. Avoid dry, drought like conditions as these can lead to stunted growth. Irrigate with approximately 1 1/2 inches of water weekly.
