There use to be a tree shading this Hosta. Now it gets full afternoon sun. Will it survive till the Fall or should I move it soon????? Picture attached. Thank you
It needs to be moved. Make sure that the weather is mild, when you do so. Rain helps, too!
Here is an article that will help you to grow the plant:

The hosta looks like it is melting from the bottom up.
I would suspect a lack of sufficient water. Slightly wetting the surface may not reach down far enough to the roots. To confirm, water when it is necessary; wait for the water to drain down to the roots; then insert a finger into the soil to a depth of 6” and see how moist the soil feels where the roots tend to be. If it is dry, either you missed a spot or you need to increase the amount of water used when you water.
I have three hosta plants. All three are nourished, and two are flourishing, with flower stems. Third is extremely small with narrow leaves, no flowers at all, and is within 2 feet of the other flourishing hostas [same everything]....this very small hosta seems healthy otherwise. They receive morning sun only, I fertilize every 3-4 months, and I water regularly. What could be the issue? [see photos]
This can be explained in two possible ways.
Either, this is just the luck of the draw and you got a plant with defunct genetics, or the conditions are just slightly less ideal than it prefers.
Since they prefer shade, this one could get too much sun. Or, there is a slight slope, it could be that the soil remains too wet in that spot.
To ensure the best growth, make sure to give them the best care possible, though it looks like you are doing a wonderful job with the other two!

If hostas spread underground what are the pods that show up after the plant has bloomed. Should i cut them down
The American Hosta Society recommends cutting the scape off before seed pods form. The seed formation will direct energy to producing seed instead of more roots and leaves.

Can the stem in a hosta plant be cut back when turning brown?
You can trim the flowering stem as soon as the flowers fade. Here are care tips:

To whom it may concern, Could you help me identify this variation of Hosta. Thank You Bill Seward wseward@mail.com
Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I am unable to identify the Hosta in question.
