How to fertilize Minuteman Hosta
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Minuteman Hosta after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What is wrong with my Hostas? #hosta I came outside this afternoon and found my babies looking so limp and wimpy. It rained on Friday, today is Sunday so I wouldn't imagine it needs water... Any advice because all the rest of my divided ones look good.

Finally, the deer have left this poor little hosta alone long enough for it to put out beautiful leaves again🤗 dang, they’re such annoying creatures when they chomp all your beautiful plants down to ugly little stumps😓 they’re forcing me to put out deer repellent or go hunting👀😅 #tunnybiger #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #OutdoorGrowing #Hosta

It's new and really didn't know exactly what the name is. I think it's a hosta . I have to learn more to take care of her. #Hosta

I think part of the leaves dried up due to too much sun exposure. They’re now in shade. But what should I do about the leaves? Do I cut the entire leaf or only part of it? #Hosta

Good morning #greggang! Long but funny, sarcastic, & help-seeking post ahead. So please keep reading 🙏🏻😩 I’m having my last 2 wisdom teeth removed in 2 hours.🥴🥳 When I come home, I’m sure the pain meds will guide me to another #accidentalplanthaul, only this time online 🤭 Here’s what I’m looking for: - tropical-ish plants to accompany my new #sabalpalms. I found a few #orangebirdofparadise that I’m considering but otherwise I’m drawing a blank. - I’ve got a clean slate in my front yard, one side is full aun, other side is full shade. - If you’ve got any container ideas for my deck (also full sun), fire away! As always, you all ROCK and I’m so thankful for this community! Oh yeah, extra credit for #lowmaintenance (like no frequent shrub shaping) and #perennials!! PS… I’m currently growing #poppies, #peonies, #spiderlilies #greenorchidphlox, #blackcoralelephantear, multiple varieties of #hosta, & #bellsofireland indoors. So if I don’t unalive them first, planning on moving those outside. 😬 Added pics of a few for color inspo. #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #OutdoorGrowing #TropicalPlants
