Hosta seedlings need lots of light to get off to a good start. I suggest grow lights if you are starting indoors. You also must have sterile potting mix as damping off is a big problem with hosta seedlings. The following article is from the Cooperative Extension in Minnesota. https://ask.extension.org/questions/383783
