How to grow hosta in autumn

1. Sufficient water

Autumn is still the growth period of hosta, so sufficient water should be provided. However, it is afraid of waterlogging. If there is too much water, it may cause the leaves to turn yellow or the roots to rot. Therefore, just water it in moderation and ensure that the soil is slightly moist. If you are afraid of waterlogging, you can choose sandy soil that is easy to drain. In addition to watering, if the air is too dry, you also need to spray some water appropriately.

2. Suitable lighting

It cannot grow without good light in autumn. However, it itself is afraid of too strong light. So you can put it in a bright place at ordinary times. In early autumn when the light is strong, provide it with appropriate shade. In late autumn when light is weak, extend the light hours for it.

3. Suitable temperature

Hosta likes warmth because it grows better in a warm environment. You generally don't need to pay attention to the temperature in early autumn, but you do need to pay attention when the temperature drops in late autumn. It is best to keep it indoors and keep the room temperature above 0℃.

4. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

At the beginning of autumn, you can continue to fertilize, but not too much or at too high a concentration. Generally speaking, by the end of September, you need to slowly stop fertilizing. In addition, after applying fertilizer, you need to loosen the soil to make it more loose, and water it once to make it easier for the plants to absorb.
