Flop-overs

Etiolated plants will have a tendency to flop - more light helps. They can
be made more sturdy just by brushing them gently with the back of ones hand
whenever the chance occurs.
I think that many of these plants are designed to flop in nature anyway, it
is an effective way to clobber any competing plants! not a desirable trait
in a crowded green house though.

an oscillating fan across them periodically during their development. I do
that with all my seedlings now before trying to transplant them,
A lot of my Moraeas and species Gladiolus seem to flopping over in bloom.
Do
they need a deeper pot, to potted deeper? Or is this always going to be a
problem with these taxa when they're potted?
