My Cerinthe seedlings are very floppy, I have asked peeps and that is common but no one can tell me what to do with them, are they too wet or maybe too hot ?

where are they? how big are they? too wet is more of a problem for cerinthes than too dry but they do need a bit of water
In the sticks near Peterborough
They are in the potting shed window at the moment and are about 9cm tall, just look miserable
It's time for them to be outside and in the ground. That should sort them out.Water them in and leave them alone for a while, no daily watering

My Cerinthe seedlings all flopped hopelessly so I staked them (used wooden chopsticks) but that didn't really help. I put them in the ground deeply about three weeks ago and they are now more upright. Maybe it's time to put them in the ground like nutcutlet says.
Thank you all very much, I will do that tomorrow
I did as you Nutcutlet suggested, I stuck them into the ground quite roughly and after a few days of sulking they started growing, doing very well now Thank you
