Cuttings flopping over

I've got some cuttings of penstemon in a pot with John innes compost, but they are beginning to flop, does anybody know why this is and will they recover?

Give them a good water.Let the excess drain through,put a pop bottle or plastic cover over to cut down transpirational loss,and put in the shade.
thanks for that reply, I'll do that, hopefully it won't be too late for them.
if they're flopping, maybe ( can't tell without a photo ) they're too long.
I usually leave just a couple of pairs of leaves,sometimes even cutting bigger leaves in half.
