# Hello! I am new to flower growing and planted snap dragons earlier…

_Publié par Julia le 2024-04-06_

Hello! I am new to flower growing and planted snap dragons earlier this year. The flowers appear to be falling over and I am really lost of what the problem is. I have just moved the lights closer and am now growing them without the lid on, but need some tips or suggestions on how to fix them. Can they still thrive if I fix the problems soon enough? Any help is appreciated, thank you!!!

They could be falling over because they need support, or can’t hold themselves up just because they aren’t used that much weight. They don’t really look droopy just unstable really. The soils may not be compact enough to hold them up straight, or there are multiple light sources all around the room that they are leaning towards. They don’t look unhealthy at all!

Nothing to use specifically, but there are things you can do to help them stand up on their own…

Provide Air Movement. ...

Increase Seedling Spacing. ...

Move Seedlings Off Heat

gently brushing your fingers back and forth along the tops of the plants every day. This simple motion simulates an outdoor breeze and tricks the seedlings into thinking they need to grow thicker stems to hold up against windy conditions
