Should all Should Hostas be Divided?
The simple answer is Yes! Extend the life of your Hostas by splitting.
By digging up and subsequently dividing your Hostas, you can propagate a successful, healthy plant into multiple plants. It allows you to propagate new plants. It is incredibly easy and it’s completely free.
You will know when it is time because the plant will become too crowded, and you might notice the centre of your clump not looking its best. To keep your Hosta at its healthiest, you should plan to divide the plant every 3-5 years. It doesn’t mean you should be dividing your plant every year.
Hostas spread to form large clumps over time and may outgrow the position in which they were initially planted. Dividing your Hostas can help the smaller Hostas from being overcrowded by the bigger ones. However, even the smaller, slower growing Hostas can spread, given time.
