Hi,
Had a recently bought Bergenia plant in my allotment and was hoping to plant it this weekend.
However since Sunday many leaves and flowers have fallen to the ground. The leaves were abit brownish and both were not looking very good.
The Bergenia is still in the pot but it does not look good at all.
Have decided to remove anything that was brownish or wilting and during that I found that within the pot there are some small white stuff. I did push 1-2 with my fingers and they did crack like eggs and had liquid inside..

What can it be? Is there any way to save the Bergenia?
Is there any risk to the other plants in the allotment?

Few photos attached.

The small white stuff could be water retaining gel which helps to keep the compost moist. A not so good alternative would be vine weevil larvae which would explain the state of your plant. You could try taking the plant out of the pot, completely washing off the compost to get rid of any possible vine weevil larvae and then planting it. No guarantees that it will work but worth a try.

thanks.
I was afraid that it could be this.

Is the larvae supposed to be alive in spring or do they lay the eggs in spring?

The adults start to get active about this time of year, after they lay their eggs the larvae hatch in about 10 days. They are such a pain.
