13.06.2023 19:37
Hosta cannot be called a capricious plant, so if the flower has acquired a wilted appearance, then it is time to sound the alarm.
Most likely, the culture needs one or another element, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist, and a landscape designer.
Nitrogen deficiency
You can tell that your hosta needs nitrogen if the hosta has turned yellow and is growing weak leaves and has a pale appearance.
By the way, you will be able to notice yellowness not only on the leaves, but also on the stems. And in this case, you should not expect new growth.
Potassium deficiency
In this case, the leaves rush to the stage of withering, curl up and fall to the ground one after another.
If the situation is critical, spots appear on the plant. A weakened hosta becomes especially vulnerable to pests and diseases.
Phosphorus deficiency
It is worth adding phosphorus-containing fertilizers when the green mass darkens and the stems can no longer boast of their former elasticity.
