Did you post a photo on the other forum?

"from what I gather I needed to raise mine up."

Was that the consensus diagnoses?

"About 4 weeks is what another thread said about, the plant to start to make new leaves. Is this right?"

Was this the consensus prognoses?

How many years in the ground?

5-6 years in the ground.
? consensus diagnoses? I stated that I read as much as I could find about the problem I am having. Stated above. so as not to have to repeat a question.
It's a shame the way some let things go to the wind.

Not sure what this means but I don't think we have enough information to offer help! Some will shoot from the hip and give poor information so I'm trying to understand.

I did go ahead out in the wind and take a few photo that may help you give "me" enough information to understand.

Do your leaves look like these?

welcome .. dont recognize the name ...

yellowing is not normal ... on an untouched plant ...

since you recently dug it up .. IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER .... you have stressed it out ... and the yellowing is not surprising.... it is sacrificing leaves for the whole ... or that is my theory anyway ....

water it deeply and often this time of year ...

all i would be interested in.. is the new flush of leaves.. and how they look ... if they look fine ... then you are all set ...

you were a bit late in the digging ... but hosta are very resilient ... you had no choice ...

once the leaves turn all yellow [on a non-yellow plant, of course] .. they are useless to the plant.. and can be removed.. any green is adding food to the plant.. so leave them .. no matter how ugly ....

we are only interested in next year.. give up fixating on this one.. except for the watering ....

personally .. i EXPECT nothing from a plant the first year ... what i am trying to say.. is that the problem is your expectation .... versus the plant ...

only a picture would change my mind ...

good luck

come back often.. ken

Ken I think we are talking to ourselves, they are gone with bent feelings.

Thank's Ken,
I really didn't have a good choice in "up rooting" these plants now or later.
they are in a spot that is staying way too wet this year w/all the rain. As well as they had sunk down so that some times they were holding water around the crown area. I started to have a few too many leaves just turning yellow no brown or heat or any of that. so thought maybe I might end up w/a fungal or rot problem in the end.
I thought some leaves would continue to turn yellow and that is fine. I don't really care if they all fall. Just so that they don't get fungus or rot.
they were quit large last year. This year not quit as large and then the water...
thanks for the helpful info.
I would have post a pic if could but not able.
Also I dug and looked for nematode damage and pest etc on roots, they seem fine. good color and healthy looking despite the water.
Thanks.

coming back smaller is a key sign of being planted too deep ...

nematodes are within the leaves... you wont see them in the soil ... nor on the roots .. brown dead streaks between two veins that do not go past the vein is diagnostic ..

i dont think you can drown a hosta... but if it is too deep i wouldnt be surprised if you could ... the crown ... needs air as much as water ... as does the rest of the plant ...

anyway.. let us know how it re-flushes in the next few weeks ....

good luck

Ken, thanks again.
All of the plants have made it through the up heave.
Only lost maybe 2-4 leaves per plant.
they are all putting on new leaves and really looking so much better.
I will have to remember not to let the crown settle so low on my plants in the future.
