Saponaria ocymoides Help

darrenbriandarrenbrian Posts: 15

Hello

I have grown some saponaria ocymoides(rock soapwort) from seed, i am in the process of potting them on. 

I am not sure if something has gone wrong with the seedlings

 I know the there habit is trailing ground cover, but they are very floppy, should they be a bit more upright. The length of the stem is 4cm between base to first leaf.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Darren.

    Hard to tell from the pics and I can't enlarge them. They may not support themselves but the leaves shouldn't be floppy. I think I'd pinch the tops out, not let them get too wet or in full sun all day and see what happens. I can only see one or two there that looked limp but I can't see well enough
