My young daughter is dying.

I am attaching a picture of the suffering girl. She was left alone for a day (she is nearly three weeks old!) and was found like this on return. Her stem is, as the attached picture shows, a bit shriveled, pinched even. It is impossible that anything besides a gentle breeze came in contact with her.

An identical ailment brought a young sibling down more than a week ago; the damaged stem was buried up to the hilt, but within 48 hours death was certain.

I do not want to lose such a beautiful girl! Help me rollitup, you're my only hope.

i think the top of the plant is too heavy, so try moving your bulbd closer and bury the dtem in potting soil all the way up to the first set of bottom leaves.

What kind of light are you using? If CFL keep it close enough just too not burn it. Put your hand under the light, if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for the plant.

support it up with a straw and it should heal

this one could go either way. yep, split a piece of plastic straw long ways and gentle wrap it around the stalk to straighten it. good luck.

you could try clipping the cotyledon and then bury it up to the first set of true leaves. i've done this but you need to be careful of over watering until the stalk that is buried roots. it will easily rot at this point.

lack of watering results in poor roots, could be the problem...
