More light typically helps with legginess. I’d also recommend a good balanced fertilizer. And maybe less frequent watering (that’s without “knowing” your plant)

You can also use supports to help prop them up until the stems get stronger

This is my favorite fertilizer. The only one I’ve never had burn issues with
