Question

What to do for my Hosta? There is some kind of green bug with cotton like stuff and they jump.

Answer 1

Hard to say for sure but it could be leafhoppers, which come in a variety of colors and will leave behind cottony masses - and, of course, they jump. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/leafhopper-control.htm

At any rate, you can try treating the plant with neem oil, which we have found to be quite effective with many insect pests. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/neem-oil-uses.htm
