I don't know if it relates to plants being in my constant water reservoir pots, BIG BUTT there are several plants putting on new growth now. Here are two I posted recently, if you would like to see more let me know?

Here is one of the divisions of H.ÂWinter Lightning that had the pot in pot water reservoir showing new growth. You noted accurately that several of the leaves looked bad when in fact it was making a bunch of new growth. I was showing the system and didnÂt show the new growth on the 4 divisions in that pot. You can clearly see the first flush of growth making way for the new growth, that pot had produced a huge mass of roots.

I just went out and there are 20 or more plants putting on substantial new growth.

My favorite hosta is H.'Paul's Glory' because it changes so much through the season, every day a little supprise.
Another plant I enjoy is H.'Whirlwind' for the same reason.

Anymore examples?

Just out looking around and stopped by H.'Grey Ghost', note the grey or glacous back the veins showing, another new look in just a few days.

My new favorite toy I ever had, notice in 5 days H.'Grey Ghost' is changing to green in almost full sun.

I've moved it to much more shade to see if it slows down the move from yellowish to green.

Does anyone know about plants like this and this color change.

EO the last picture... you have white spots on the leaves and some holes. Did slugs do that damage or bugs? I know I have slugs but the white spots before the holes "bug" me. What causes the white spots? Is this a slug and bug problem or just slugs? I still wonder if all my problems this year with the holes in hostas is really all due to slugs????? Sorry if this is a stupid question. It just keeps bugging me. My hostas are really looking bad now. I have slug bait but I am afraid to use it, because I love my chipmunks and do not want to hurt them.

Almost or even everyone will have slug problems sooner or later so dealing with them is a constant. Slug bait works but it is dangerous for many small mammals.

The white spots are probably slugs, my method is ammonia treatment that works very well and is fairly easy.

Fill a hose-end sprayer with full strength household ammonia and allow the sprayer to mix the ammonia. Saturate the ground/soil around the plants reaching the slugs where they hide during the day. You probably will need to spray every 7-10 days 3-4 times. BIG BUTT they will be back, IÂve followed their trails and they travel great distances to find what they want to eat.

Search slugs or ammonia and you will find much on the subject, Papaw has posted his method, also look for his website for good information. His method is probably more effective than mine but is much more labor intensive.

The ammonia will not hurt the plants and leave a small charge of nitrogen; the soil will buffer the oxidizing effect of the ammonia in a hurry.

Grey Ghost is very pretty. I have one, but it's not mature and doesn't yet look like yours. It just looks all gold. No new flush yet, but I hope I get one before cold weather.

This is in the "constant water reservoir" pot in sun from 10-11 until late afternoon, can't say what effect these high light and particular conditions has. I've mentioned that I'm getting new flushes in the constant water conditions but I'm assuming we would have more growth in the soil if we could keep moisture higher later in the season. That is really a problem in the soil, I watered yesterday for the first time, with my space I just can't water as much as they would like.

This is a bit much but I'm showing the effect of moving from higher light to lower light on keeping color change longer.

Earlier it had moved to green in just 5 days. Now we are maintaining this color for 15 days in lower light.
