Falling over can happen when the plant is being over watered. Remember, this is a desert shrub, so water infrequently and give it almost the same treatment you would give a cactus. When the plant receives a relatively large amount of water the roots will not grow deep enough to keep the plant upright. A larger pot will definitely help, but please watch out with watering. Less water will cause the plant to develop a stronger root system. Good luck!

My Peganum Harmala’s just can’t develop a sturdy stem! Maybe this should be the case, but for now the just keep growing upwards and keep falling down! Hope yours will have a more stabile development. One and a half week ago i’ve re-potted them to a 3 ltr. pot, what makes the harmala look kinda pathetic in comparison with the pot. So let’s hope a touch of summer can change the situation!

Hey Nickson, sadly enough, yes they did. As you might have seen I went to Indonesia for about a month and let my brother take care of all my plants. Even with all the good intentions he had, he underwatered the plants. Luckily enough I was able to save most of my cacti, but the Harmala was lost. Nothing to worry about, spring is coming up again and I’ve got a lot of more space since I’ve moved, so lots of growing projects are coming up :)
Peace and take care!

Hi! I’d be interested in hearing what came of this experiment. Did the seedlings die?
