    Hostas thrive where soil is rich and well-draining. Their ideal soil pH ranges from 6.5 to 7.5, which means neutral, slightly acidic or slightly alkaline soils all are suitable.

    These are highly toxic to cats. Please do not allow you cat to chew on houseplants, as many that are harmless to us are deadly to cats.

    Cats are carnivorous, and will chew on plants if their nutrient requirements are not met, and out of boredom.

    If your cat is doing this, you may look to changing foods, and finding out what nutrient the cat is lacking, as this is a dangerous thing with many houseplants.

    Hostas contain saponin which can cause mild to severe stomach and intestinal distress, depending on how much is consumed. It is always wise to check with your vet. There are also online pet websites that list the most toxic plants. Hostas are not on the top 10 list of most toxic plants to cats.

    Please include photos and I will be more than glad to help. Without them, it would be hard to say what is going on. Baking soda can be used for certain problems, if used very carefully, but it would be hard to say if it is necessary without knowing what is wrong with the plants.

    These will likely come back next year with no problem. This happens in nature, and many plants are adapted to being burned, so I don't think that you have anything to worry about. They will recover by the next growing season.
