The word on petiole length is to cut the petiole as long as possible.
Cut it close to the crown of the hosta. That way, when you get to the
show, you can cut a little off of it ( a LITTLE), so that the leaf can
draw water from the container.
The best way to transport them, is in a large, flat Tupperware type
container, each leaf layered between sheets of damp paper towels.
