How to take care of Hosta T Rex
Plant Hosta T Rex slighly below the soil level. Form a small cone/mound in the bottom of the planting hole, spread the roots over it and add the amended soil. Hosta T Rex require a moist soil and grow well in both light and full shade. Once established they can be quite drought resistant. Hosta T Rex should be sheltered from wind, feed all Hosta plants with a balanced plant food in spring and in summer. Mulch regularly in autumn or spring with a thick layer 10cm of garden compost. Water well for the first few weeks after planting and after that once or twice a week, water the soil around the base of Hosta T Rex rather than the leaves. As slugs and snails can do considerable damage, especially to new leaves, place some small sharp stones around Hosta T Rex. If supplied as bare root: Please soak the bare roots for 12-18 hours (do not exceed 24 hours). This allows them to take up the maximum amount of water without doing any injury to the plant.
