When
planting hostas that are in a container, carefully remove
the plant from the container. Sometimes the roots may be bound
to the container. Tapping the container sides should loosen
the roots from the pot. If the roots are difficult to loosen,
it may be necessary to cut through some of them, make several
vertical cuts in the routable. Shake the excess soil from
the roots and do not use potting soil in the planting hole.
When planting
hostas in the selected planting hole, take care to plant it
at the same level as it grew in the container. The area where
the leaves and roots meet should be at ground level. Soak
the root zone thoroughly with water to remove dry pockets
and air pockets in the surrounding soil. |
