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 wonder if my suji-gibōshi doesnt like our every-day garden watering system (even though amount is minimal). It is located at the front of plants under our front landing so gets the most light - 99% indirect. #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
