The local grocery store had some really lovely live herbs. They were in
little pots and wrapped in clear plastic like flowers. I grabbed a couple
of rosemary plants. After carefully teasing them from their pots I
transplanted them only to find them all flopped over like limp noodles the
next day. They cannot stand up on their own. They don't have any water
issues except for possibly being too wet. Should I stake them? Just
leave
them alone?

Do they have roots or are they just cuttings?


I believe I wrote they were in pots. They are seedlings which were grown in
the pots. They are about 8 inches tall. They are fully hydrated with no
signs of wilting.
