    the bigger it gets the more its tipping. a friend of mine has had a plant that died because it simply got too tall and fell over. mine is about 3 or 4 weeks old maybe 6 or 7in high..is there anything i could do so it will stand straight?

    Iffin' you have a picture that would be a huge help.

    I'm just guessing, but your lil' plant is probably stretching a lot to reach your light source, causing it to grow at a much faster rate then your stem can withstand.

    For the time being, get a BBQ skewer or something like that and use it to splint your plant up, be very careful as the stem is probably pretty weak. If you're using lights indoors, try to move them a little closer to your plant so it doesn't have to stretch so much to get the energy it's looking for.

    BBQ (Shish kabob) skewer and a twist tie. It will get stronger as it grows.

    Or slice a straw down one side and wrap that around the stem. Will keep it up, and not damage the stem like a twist tie can

    Spindley babies are (almost) for sure a result of improper lighting. What kind of lights are you using and how are you using them?
