My friend has divided a plant
for me which last year had tall white round flowers which i thought was Astilbe. Ive potted it up into pretty big pot and its got many roots but its flopped. Should i chop it down or wait? Its been 3 days and its been watered enough. I thought it was Astilbe family but i doubt it now. Each stem has one leaf at top and leaves look like Geranium but defo not. Should i wait for it to revive or have i done something wrong? The mother plant is fine so why has this flopped so much? Any idea on type?

| Your link doesn't work so unable to id your plant. Flopping after division is perfectly normal. I wouldn't use masking tape - it's ugly and could damage the plant. Use soft twine and a discrete stick if you must but I'd just leave it alone. It has to re-establish its roots and 3 days is no time at all. Certainly don't chop it down. Would you want your head amputated if you were feeling faint? No, you'd want a nice quite bit of time to recover and a good long drink of water. |

| I agree with flora_uk we should all keep our heads. |
