hello . am a new bie and am having a little problem with some of my plants as shown in the pics. have just transplanted them from a small pot to a bigger one and now they seems not to grow up but have a tendency to bend over. i even put a little support to help them to rise but as seen in picture , still bend over.
why is this so??

well first off they are streaching realllllly bad, get the light closer if you are growing indoors. the stems look very week, do you have a wind blowing on them? what kind of soil are you using, it looks like your usuing a muddy dirt, is there any sand/perlite in the mix? Since you have such a big pot and a small plant i belive root rot is greatly likly

oh yes also with 2 plants next to each other like that they will get root bound to each other in the fight for nutrients which will be the decline/death of one or both plants.

hi guys , thanks a lot for your help, i bought the best treated soil but haven't really mix any thing with it. also , there wasn't any really ventilated air around them as they were in a close room. have changed their location and now they have much more ventilated air. lights are much closer and will put only one plant per pot. will not forget to make a mixture of the soil.
