they are very tempramental, I bought two and the've been in a week in a grobag and one just started to go floppy and as we havn't over watered or had frost I'm at a loss as well

They have quite delicate stems and may have 'damped off' like seedlings do. Try to water from below. Sow some more and they will soon catch up.

volunteer is right they can die very quickly if the water gets on the stems.i usually put a plastic bottle (turned upside down with the bottom cut off )down beside the plants and water into that.
that way the water goes where its needed and not on the stems at all.
never fails.

Excellent. Thanks to you all and I think it was the water after emptying the containers out. Will try a few more tomorrow and see how we go.

plantmaiden-- just looked at mine and the'floppy' one has picked up a bit so I'll take your advice and be more careful in future thankyou :o)

Fingers crossed then pam :o))
