| why yes.. you did .. NEVER...EVER split and repot any plant that is flowering ... you do it after flowering.... at least.. and even better.. right after it went dormant last fall ... or just prior to planting time .. the plant is extremely stressed when in the process of procreation.. which is the whole point of that big fancy flower.. and you can not.. at that time.. disturb its entire root system.. and rip the darn thing apart ... stake the flower... and water it.. put it in shade.. and MAYBE the roots will pump enough eater to replace the lost turgidity .... you can not lose turgidity during procreation... it just really messes up the whole process ... welcome to GW ...and good luck ken ps; there is a joke in there.. somewhere... |
