How do you divide Hostas?
The easiest way to divide hostas is to dig the whole clump of plants and
gently pull the smaller plants apart at the roots. They should separate pretty easily and then you should be able to replant them separately. Make sure to water well if you are attempting this now. The best time to divide them is in the fall before they die back. The temps are cooler and it gives the root systems time to get down deeper through the winter before heat stresses the plant.

How do you divide Hostas?
I have had success simply placing a shovel in the center of the plant and
cutting it in half as I dig up the portion on the front side of the shovel. I have done this with about 20 plants and all have survived without apparent stress. "Cynthia Hines" wrote in message thlink.net... How do you divide Hostas? |
