I just encountered the same thing with mine! You could try purchasing some moss poles made to support plants, and tie the droopier ones up with plant tape. I’d take any insight too though! 😊

You could prop them up with bamboo stakes and plant Velcro

Did you recently repot? They stress after repotting. A pole will help until the stems are firm again.

There is soil above the leaf nodes. Clear the soil away. Check for rot/issue with those nodes.
