Without Breaking Your Back Propagate Hostas!

1. Find a clump of Hosta you want to propagate, I chose this one:

2. Find an eye or set of eyes toward the outer edge and use your finger to clear a spot between the eyes like this:

3. Take your shovel and place it in the spot you marked:

4. Push down on the shovel and cut through the Hosta to release the eyes:

5. Move the shovel around the eyes you are removing to cut through and loosen them. Make sure to be far enough out to get some roots:

6. When you have cut around it gently lift it with the shovel:

7. Or your Hand if it’s easier:-)

8. Replace dirt that came out and pack it gently:

9. Pot the eyes up for when you need them-keep them well watered until you find them a new home.

That is all there is to it-you could even use a hand trowel if you wanted too. Visit my blog or my website http://www.sproutsandstuff.com/ for more tips and Happy Planting!.
