Thanks for the video. I have found that watering the plants the night before really makes dividing hostas so much easier. Also moving the rock mulch away from the plant makes it easier also.
New subscriber from Mobile, Alabama USA I came to your site to get help with my first attempt at dividing hostas. I am an elderly lady and found your manner and your way of speaking very easy to follow. I appreciate that you don't scream like so many young people do. Also, my great grandfather came to the States from Ireland and I enjoy that little tidbit. Great video and I look forward to watching more of them. Best of luck in your new TH-cam venture.
One year on, 20,000 subs, and over 700,000 views of your videos, well young man, congratulations. This was your first video. Pat on your back, born and bred in Ireland, we are super proud of your great progress on here, all in one year. Well done Niall..
Ok!! Now I’m ready to try splitting my hostas!! Thanks! (From west coast British Columbia Canada!!)
There’s other gardeners that makes this process so complicated. You did it fast, easy & simple. I divide mine the same exact way. Hostas are very hardy. They always come back.
Thanks Niall, I basically knew what to do but watched your video to refresh my memory and now I am going to divide my hostas this week 👍🌱 😉....
You're welcome! Glad that it was useful! It was the first video I ever made!
Fantastic effort for your first one Niall! You're a natural. Thanks for the video... can't wait till next March so I can split my hostas out... I absolutely love them for their vibrant foliage 👌
Same here! Nice to see it being done to get the confidence to do it 😅
Same! Thanks!
excellent , very clear and easy to follow, really appreciate the down to earth approach
Thanks for your informative video love the Irish voice, 🪴🌿
You're welcome! Glad you like the accent!
Great informative video and LOVE your voice! Kevin from North Carolina
I just did the same thing with my hostas great information thank you gardening in zone 8B Texas
Great to see someone Irish giving advice, I’m always a little unsure about zones etc when taking advice from other gardeners overseas
Ya me too great to get advice on planting in our climate.
Hello Niall. I'm a new subscriber from US. I came over to your channel after seeing you on Huw Richards'. I'll start from the beginning and work my way through your videos. I enjoyed this one and it is quite timely as I need to divide my hostas and wasn't sure how to do it. Thanks.
Loved this video!! Simply prepared, exactly what I needed to reinforce what I thought should be done. Can’t wait for more!!
Glad it was helpful and thanks for such a kind comment! I've just hit 50 videos on the channel so there's loads to binge-watch! 😂
@@niallgardens I am a fan! Thanks! Will be watching more!
Right on time! Need to move and divide some hosts. Thanks for being so clear and thorough.
Happy to help!
your first video? Jeesh, it's better than the ones I'm making a couple of years on.
Love your videos.
Yay, thanks very much! 😃 Though you’ve got some pretty nice shots yourself, plus I think your intro is class!
Great job on a first video! 👏 I wouldn't have known if you hadn't mentioned it, lol. I'm dividing some hostas and wild violets today, so I wanted a refresher and good tips. You delivered; thanks! 😄👍🏻🪴
I just divided a root bound hosta that didn’t flower last year (it was too overgrown in a very large pot on my Front stoop). I left half in pot after replenishing soil) and the other half in my back garden. Fingers crossed!
Update: wow! Original in pot looking better than ever, transplant enormous and healthy, and my little “bonus” hosta is thriving. Apparently a small piece of root fell into the dirt when I separated the original. It’s in a perfect spot next to my front steps!
Now I know how to properly split a hosta. I have several I have to split. Thanks for the great video advice.
I didn't realize you hadn't been doing them long. What a natural. Very enjoyable and relaxing videos. Keep up the good work. Great channel. Thank you
Yeah I'm at 2 years now! Can't believe it!
Very nice job on the video! Thanks too for the helpful information. I have a large hosta I have been wanting to divide, but was unsure how to do it. Your video is very clear and easy to follow. I feel I know exactly what to do. Thanks man!
Thank you.
What?! It’s your first video? It was great! 👍🏻 👍🏻 really enjoyed it! Well done and love the smile, enthusiasm, and encouragement!
Hello Niall 😀
I have just found your channel and I’m looking forward to following your journey 🧑🌾 I have just invested getting more varieties of Hosta’s and this video really helped 🌸🦋🌸
Great video. I am attempting to divide my hostas, but they are outrageously big in my garden, and it is only mid May here in New Jersey, USA.
This is an amazing first video. I moved in to a house with a backyard that looks like a hostas jungle, so thanks for the dividing idea!
So nice of you - glad that you enjoyed it! 😃
Thank you for the great tips!
Nice helpful video. Thanks.
Great video! Oomph! Looking forward to seeing more
Thank you x
I'm going to try using a reciprocating saw on mine.
Hi Niall. Watching here in in the US, sunny California, and enjoying what I’m seeing thus far. I’m starting from the beginning, after watching, your Hyacinth video. I look forward to checking them out and supporting the channel. Spring is here so let’s get out into the garden! 😊
Great video.! I feel confident enough now to giving it a try. You make it look so easy,thank you.
That's so good that the video has made you feel that - You can do it! Let me know how you get on!
you are awesome!! I am going to do my hostas today!! Thank you for being so kind..
You are so welcome!
What an interesting garden. Hope to see more of it in future videos.
Thanks Jim! I’m already working on next week’s! 😁
Useful, thank you x
That was very helpful, thank you
You're welcome!
Fantastic video, thanks. Will be doing mine this weekend. Look forward to more videos 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
We’re dividing hostas today!
Great, go for it! Oh, and let me know how you get on!
Yaay!!. great HD too...
Thanks very much! Yeah it's an intentional choice to film and upload in 4k so I'm actually really chuffed that you've noticed! Thank you!
Love your first video! 😊
Thanks! Hard to believe it’s been a year already!
You are adorable!
You are so kind!
Nice video. I found your video very helpful 👍. I have these huge beautiful hosta that I want to devide and put other places in the garden. So here we go, wish me luck!
Glad it was helpful! You can totally do it! Make sure to let me know how you get on!
Loved it. When I have moved my large Hostas, they've grown back much smaller. I think I'm putting them in too much sun.
You might well be right - if they’re a little too dry, plus the shock of being divided, they may just be sulking a bit!
Oh, PS.....great video! I’ve subscribed and will share. I love your Irish accent. My ancestors were from County Cork.
Awesome! Thank you! Particularly sharing it with others is such a help for me, because I'm working really hard to get the channel out there for other people to enjoy!
Oh I used to live in Co. Cork about 10 years ago!
This is a great tutorial! I have some awesome hostas that I need to move. They're under a tree that was completely overtrimmed last year - so there's not nearly enough shade to keep them happy. Def gonna divide and conquer:-)
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the message!
Great video, so satisfying to get new plants, by dividing those you have already got. Like you, I always have a sharp knife to split herbaceous plants.
I use home made garlic spray, to keep snails/slugs off Hostas,
It really does feel good doesn't it? And so many people don't realise how easy it truly is - so I hoped that it might encourage people to give it a go! Good idea about the garlic spray. Amazingly we don't have a huge slug/snail problem, but most of the beds where are Hostas are planted are gravel-covered.
@@niallgardens It certainly does Niall.
Good that you don't have snail/slug problems, as well as your gravel keeping them off, the frogs and birds will be keeping numbers down too. One benefit of the lockdown is we have more time to enjoy our gardens, and/or enjoy your garden, so thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome! I’ve got some interesting content planned for the next few months so stay tuned! 😁
Great stuff, very professional looking video. Be interested to hear how your new hostas are doing, five months on!
Thanks very much!
Great info! I've been dividing hostas, almost brutally, for many years. I probably should have made a video about it, but I guess I don't have to now! haha! Great advice, though. I only started really paying attention to hostas after I learned that I could eat them! Did you know that the spring shoots are amazing grilled with a pesto sauce? 2 -3 minutes on each side at 400 Fahrenheit and they're done! Give it a try sometime. If you need a recipe, there's a video on my channel about it. Cheers!
Good stuff! I've never tried eating them before!
Just catching up on your vdeos. You must have been a presenter in a previous life. Great video. Looking forward to the rest. Laura
Haha thank you! It must've been in a previous life because it certainly wasn't in this one! Glad you enjoyed the video and it's really nice to have you here!
Where in the world are you located?
@@niallgardens Maryland. East coast USA.
@@LauraMichelGreenRaven I'm in Baltimore. The Raven should have given it away to me. But, you could just be a Poe fan. Niall, I searched for Hosta video's because my father, who just passed, had ripped all his hosta's out last year, because they had some disease (leaves were turning brown). Well, they must be really strong, because all of the beds he ripped them out of (Almost the entire perimeter of the large yard) have shoots coming back up. Fingers crossed he's found a cure for their disease, from Heaven. Thank you for this video.
@@invisiblegoddesscreations Haha. The name actually has to do with a parrot that I used to own. I am a Ravens fan though. Laura
Great video, you’re a natural. Did you leave the hostas is pots all season? If I want to transplant to somewhere else in the flower bed, I can put them directly into the ground, right?
Thanks very much! I did actually, though not deliberately... simply because I didn't have a good place to plant them. You absolutely can put them straight into a different location in the ground. In fact, I would say that's preferable! Hoping you have loads of success!
Niall just found your channel and I'm wondering how long you left the hostas in pots for and if they can be directly transplanted into the ground
Thanks
The ideal would actually be to transplant them straight into the soil. The only reason I put them into pots, was that I wasn't sure quite where I wanted them to go. However, they remained in their pots for year… I've only just planted them around the garden!
Can you put the “new” hostas directly into their new location?
Is the end of Aprl too late to divide? They bloomed out in about 2 weeks, so they are very leafy now. I've in North Texas
My neighbor tore up a lot of soil to replace a rotted fence and it looks like all my hostas were killed. Temps are milder this year, so I can hardly wait to see what pops up. If anything does crown, it will be transplanted because that new fence is a ghastly white. Is there a term for excitement + dread?
Any updates on the ones you split?
Oh yeah! They're all doing great! I had them dotted around the garden in their pots last year, their foliage died back over the winter, and now I can see this year's shoots developing!
Hey Niall. A warning from my gardening Mum: Snails love Hostas! Protect them accordingly.
Haha! Absolutely yes! The good news is that it’s well surrounded by gravel, though I’m still on the lookout just in case!!
Why put in the pot first as opposed to putting directly into the ground?
I only put them into pots because I hadn't decided where I wanted them elsewhere in the garden. Otherwise, they can go straight into the soil.
Long and boring!
