Some varieties grow very fast and need to be transplanted faster than others when grown in coconut coir pellets.
Once you see root growth coming out of the pellets, it’s time to prepare to transplant them. This could be why they are falling over.
Coconut coir pellets tend to dry out faster than container seed starting. If they are drying out, that is another possibility of why they are falling over.
We have a few resources on our website that might help.
