![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, I realize that this also provides the ideal climate for slugs. To keep the soil cool and evenly moist, mulch it with shredded leaves, evergreen needles, or other organic debris. The plants should be watered properly and frequently enough to keep the soil moist. Improve the water-holding capacity of fast-draining sandy soils by adding organic matter. Grow shade-loving plants like hostas in shaded regions away from the scorching midday and afternoon heat to reduce the danger of this condition. When a plant loses more water than is available or faster than it can absorb, brown leaf edges, also known as scorch, develop. When the temperatures rise or the sun is too harsh, brown leaf edges are prevalent on hostas and other shade-loving plants. To insulate the roots in the winter, replenish the mulch layer to 2 inches, but avoid covering the plants’ crowns. Once the foliage turns dormant, Hostas don’t need to be watered. Remove all of the foliage from the plant’s base and discard or compost it. After the leaf margins begin to yellow or brown, cut back all of the foliage. In the fall, Hostas naturally turn brown and die back. The transplanted cluster should immediately expand after it has been rooted. You can cut a wedge-shaped section from the hosta clump for transplanting in a shadier place if any segment of the plant avoids sunburn. Leaves become dry, brittle, and brown as the situation advances. Sunburned areas frequently appear bleached at first. Sunburn symptoms emerge on the foliage that is nearest to the light source. Sunburn is most common in hostas grown in direct sunshine in USDA zones that are further south. Colors fade when they are exposed to too much sunlight. The leaves will be dark, dry, and papery in appearance. Burned leaves develop from the margins inward after too much sun exposure. What happens if hosta gets too much sun?ĭespite its reputation for shade tolerance, most hosta cultivars thrive in a combination of morning sun and afternoon shade. ![]() Move the hostas to a more protective position or provide some shade for them to avoid additional harm. If they’re unattractive, get rid of them. Solution Suggestions You won’t be able to fix the broken leaves. We’ll also check into other possible reasons of these symptoms. To treat hosta leaf scorch, hydrate them more frequently with plenty of water, provide as much shade as possible, and transplant them as soon as possible to a shaded, moist location.Īfter that, I’ll go into what needs to be done to correct and avoid scorch in greater detail. ![]()
