Brigham City, Utah 84302Q.Cutting hostas
While we were on vacation we had snails that shredded the leaves on a couple of our hosta plants. Can I cut them to the ground and will they re grow?

July 5, 2017A.I would treat for slugs then remove the damaged leaves from the plant.
Though most Hosta will recover from being cut back, it is best to let them die down naturally.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/hosta/hosta-pest-control.htm

Lexington, Tx zone ,8Q.Hostas
I have quacamole and stained glass hostas I received them from a nursery already about 30" tall. I have them in pots until I know for sure where I want to put them imy backyard. The stalks keep breaking because the leaves are so big. Should I cut all the stalks back? Right now I just cut off the leaf where it has broken.

July 17, 2017A.I'd leave it as it is and get it in the ground asap. As long as you keep it watered and in the shade, it will be OK. Losing a leaf every few days will be OK; not ideal, but OK. It looks like it wants to be a big plant. Don't settle for what the tag says, look the cultivar up on the internet for ultimate dimensions and plan accordingly. I have learned not to rely on plant tag information.

July 31, 2017A.Pines are very shallow-rooted and will compete for moisture and nutrients. Depending on where you live, you may have success planting hostas in containers located under the tree.
