Lift
the entire hosta clump and wash the soil from the roots to
make it easier to see where to cut and divide the clump. Use
a sharp knife to make the cuts for dividing the hosta. Place
the divided plants in their planting holes and keep them well
watered for the first two weeks.
Spring
is a good time for dividing hostas because the new shoots
are only a few inches high and the leaves have not expanded.
Spring division may cause leaf wilting on warm days, since
the roots have been reduced in size or they were cut while
dividing the hosta. |
