# I have a hosta planted in the ground outside and she's not doing well…

_Posted by Ava on 2023-06-22_

I have a hosta planted in the ground outside and she's not doing well at all. I just fertilized her today, and she is planted in mulch. She has a lot of tiny holes in her leaves 🍁 so it may be a pest of some sort? Not sure I've never had pests before. It also may be underwatering because since she is outside I forget about her often but my indoor plants get more care. It may also be the weather recently, we have had a lot of cloudy and windy days, but not much rain here in Pennsylvania. If you need anymore info to help me feel free to ask. But Please help!

This happens to mine almost every year. I find that it is weather/solar related

Sounds good! So I have nothing to worry about?

I don’t think so.
