Hosta 'Remember Me' problems — and how to fix them
Hosta 'Remember Me' (Hosta 'Remember Me') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Slug damage
White leaf centres are highly attractive to slugs. Use iron phosphate pellets and hand-pick slugs at night; maintain dry mulch surfaces around crowns.
Sun scorch
White-centred leaves burn quickly in direct sun. Resite in deeper shade or protect from afternoon sun with a shade cloth.
Crown rot
Develops in overly wet or poorly drained conditions. Plant on a slight mound and avoid overwatering.
Hosta virus X
Produces blotchy, distorted leaves. Destroy infected plants and sterilise all tools used around them.
Vine weevil
Root-feeding larvae cause sudden plant decline. Apply nematode biological controls in late summer.
