have you tried tying it up? if it is to heavy to stand on its own, common sense would tell most ppl to try to support it artificially.

Is this an indoor grow? If it fell over, I suspect your stem is very weak and long. What kind of lighting? Do you have a fan on it? A fan will make it constantly move and the stem will get stronger/more sturdy.

Good luck,

Yes, it is common for new plants to have week stalks at first. Loosely support it in some way and get a light fan on it... not enough to blow it over but enough to shake it around a little. It will stiffen up pretty quick. Also, get your light as close as you are able so it wont keep stretching.

Sometime if your not giving them enough light, they will stretch and "lay down" I would try to move the light closer without cooking your plant.

If you're in soil just pile soil up to bottom leaves... Also all it can take is light from an angle to lean the plant, you can 1/4 turn the plant during the day and see if it is following light .. a fan helps too.... Don't overwater... Luck..
