George update! He’s grown his first full leaf back! Wanted to share the miraculous recovery of my “problem child”, my Hosta fortunei, George. He had a horrible case of anthracnose, arrived with slugs and isopods in the plant killing Miracle Grow soil that started rotting his roots, then got LAUNCHED clear across my deck from a storm two days after repotting him for the third time since I got him in May, chucked so hard he got tossed clear out of his pot and I found him hanging off the edge of my deck, completely reduced to his roots. FOUR repots and the very sad process of chopping all his leaves off, treating the fungal infection, and a SOAKING in hydrogen peroxide and water later, he lives! This is my PSA to anyone else with a “problem child”. If you don’t give up on them, they might not give up on you. 😊
