Could be wrong about this but when I was trying to grow onions inside mine did that to. Mine would get very long then fall down because of lack of light

That makes sense, I have them indoor... but they are right next to a window with a lamp over them

### Zoey commented on 2025-07-30

How close is the lamp? They do try to reach up toward the light which makes leggy. The quality of the light/ how much sun they yet could also make that happen.

They are about 12 inches from the lamp, But there are plants around it aswell

I would put a little fan too just to make them stronger, mine started off like that and then with the fan they’ve been getting stronger and straighter. But I do have a regular light on them not a grow light because I don’t have one.

I just put them outside, hopefully that helps a bit
