Hello again Mindalina!
We were ready to freshen up and divide some of our bearded Iris's today... so we decided to go ahead and see if the Hostas can be split & moved this time of year (even though they still had blossoms)... so we could re-arrange one of our garden plots while we were at it!
We dug 3 of our larger Hosta plants out of the ground... split each into 3 sections... and relocated them. We also re-located 3 smaller Hostas without splitting them.
I did use a "growth hormone" product on the scraped side of the roots where we separated them... and added a little slow release fertilizer on the ground over them after re-planting.
With the July temperatures climbing here in Delaware (along with humidity so thick it'll almost choke you)... I would imagine it should only take 2 to 3 weeks at best to see if it was sucessful or not!
Feel free to email or D-mail for updates if I forget... but I'll try to remember to post an update & a new pic in about a month. I'm also posting a reference pic here for comparison next month.
Talk Soon!
Blessings & 73!!!
Wendy & Will,
