How to grow hosta until it overflows the pot

1. Suitable lighting

Hosta is a shade-loving plant, so it cannot be placed in too bright light. It should be placed in semi-shade indoors or outdoors, or in an environment shaded by other trees. Only when its growth conditions are met will it bloom out of the pot.

2. Loose soil

The growth of hosta requires loose, fertile and well-drained soil. It is best to use peat, leaf mold and a certain amount of river sand or perlite for maintenance during home maintenance. There must be sufficient humus and organic fertilizer in the soil so that it can grow luxuriantly. Also, please note that its roots are sensitive to salt, so when preparing the soil, you must strictly control the salt intervention, and the potting soil should mainly be low-salt standard.

3. Sufficient water

Hosta needs sufficient water during its growth process and requires relatively high humidity, and the potting soil must be kept moist at all times. If the soil in the pot is completely dry for a short period of time, it will be affected to a certain extent, so during the maintenance process, it must be kept sufficiently hydrated.

4. Reaching the age limit

It takes a certain number of years for the hosta to bloom out of the pot. Newly planted hostas have fewer buds and more lush root systems, so it is difficult for them to bloom out of the pot at this time. As the years go by, generally after about three years, the roots at the bottom will grow large enough and the side buds above will sprout sufficiently, only then can the hosta grow to the point of bursting out of the pot.
