# Why is one of my Hosta plants growing but the other isn’t? I’ve…

_Posted by NewPlantMom on 2026-10-07_

Why is one of my Hosta plants growing but the other isn’t? I’ve bought new soil and replanted them I water them according to the app and use liquid fertilizer when it says the one on the left isn’t growing like the one on the right. I just don’t know why it’s taking so long to grow more. I’ve tried egg shell water. They both came from the same package of bulbs. Just not thriving like the other. Any advice?

Do you have them in the same place together? If so then it's just a different plant. Just like humans. We are all human but different.

Thank you you are so right… we all grow and mature at different rates 😇

The smaller pot is a more appropriate size. Good luck.
