Carefully dig up the clump and use a sharp knife or spade to divide it into smaller sections, each with a few buds and roots. Replant these sections at the same depth they were growing before, spacing them about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for ample growth. Water them well after replanting to help them settle in.
3. Feed Hostas the Right Fertilizer at the Right Time
Providing the right nutrients at the right time is crucial for hosta growth. Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (such as a 10-10-10 formula) in early spring as new growth appears. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application rates, usually about 1/2 to 1 pound per 100 square feet.
