hello can they I. door s
Forgot to water it in good for air pockets and fertilizer – for those that don’t know – thanks
Great information. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us 🌹
Can they remain outside in summer in the pots?
Everyone says hosta's do better in shade. Mine that are in full sun do better than the ones in the shady part of my garden.
Guess nobody told them. 😀
Didn't say how far down you place it in the container. Quite far I think.
Thank you. I just planted 10 small hostas in containers. Do I need to protect them from slugs or any other pest? Would a metal circle around them (with a sharp edge) keep soft bodied critters away? It seems to help with my kale. I just don't know anything about hostas
Good video. How big does the container need to be, do hostas develop deep long roots?
Can i keep them indoor?
Thanks for sharing 😊🇨🇦
That was pretty much the worst job of potting a hosta I have ever seen lol. First off you should spread out those root bound roots. Make a mound in the pot and drape the roots over the mound at about a 45 degree angle. Then back fill with soil. A good spikes potting soil is best with pine bark mulch added for aeration. You also want to lake sure the hosta sits about an inch or so below the rim of the pot.This hosta is way too deep in this large pot. If you are going to make a video, consider putting some effort into it next time.
A few quick tips on how to plant a hosta wonky as fook
Thank you for mentioning the drooping of the leaves. I wasn't sure why my hosta's was drooping now I know. Thanks again.
I can't move a heavy planter like that! I plant my hostas in a plastic pot and slip those into a ceramic pot. So much easier when the pots need to come in for the winter!
Beautiful I love Hosta flowers
Beautiful I love Hosta flowers 🌺 and still thinking about putting them in a pot or in the ground
Will they live through the winter snow in winter in the pot?
This post goes back 5 years … so my question looks at long term success of hosta in planters. I live in the inner city of St. Paul, Minnesota. I've been exploring hosta in planters for ±5 years (growing hosta for 26 years). At this stage I am beginning to think that hosta and planters are a crap shoot. For the 2022/2023 winter I intend to double protect my planters.
Stage A: Will be continuing the painting tarp routine of wrapping the set of planters with a painting tarp.
Stage B: [New for next winter] Will be to loosely place each planter into its own plastic bag.
These planters are set against the south side of an apartment building (Management is being extremely supportive). Last fall I wintered 15 planters; with only 5 surviving. Previous winterings have produced the same type of results. I am not seeing a rhyme or reason for the those that succeed; In theory this ought to work. Does anyone see anything wrong with this game plan? Ideas … anyone.
Am in zone 5b will containers blue hosta survive ourside in winter or should we bring them in .or planting in ground only make them survive winter.
