Anemonopsis macrophylla

in Problem solving

I have an anemonopsis macrophylla which was growing very close to (and basically underneath) a geranium palmatum - to the point that it was receiving very little light.  It was still growing, but very small (not surprising given that it's such a slow-growing plant), but I had thought it would be a good idea to move it so it wasn't so close to the geranium.  It's still in shade and was very careful not to disturb its roots, but now the leaves have all wilted!  I absolutely adore this plant but am worried that I've killed it by moving it to another spot.  Any advice as to what I can do to revive it would be most gratefully received!!

    It's a lovely plant but very fussy about soil and atmosphere. Moisture but not wet.

    Mine lasted 2 seasonsimage

    You could try cutting some of the leaves off so there aren't so many to support

    Thanks nutcutlet - I'll try that tomorrow.  Makes me so cross with myself for moving it - it was doing alright with healthy leaves... but the geranium looks like a bit of a thug. Talk about killing with kindness! image

    With most things it would have worked PP. It may still be OK if it likes where you've  put it
