Those are stretching for more light. Do you have a grow light or are they setting in a window. Which ever it is they need much more intense light. Once you fix the light problem you can replant them and bury most of the stem or use a small stick or something stuck in the pot to prop them up till they are stronger. With that much stretch i would repot them but you must fix the light problem first. Good luck

Up the light somehow and then when you repot them, bury the stems, it will all become root system. In the meantime lean against something to stand up, once the light corrects they will correct.

Do you plan on growing them outdoors and you're just starting them inside?

Being they're just seedlings, the light you have should work for a bit but like the above post said, get them some light or they will just keep stretching.

Small Bamboo cooking skewers work well for trying to keep things standing.

Yep! They're stretching toward the light. It looks like a little soil could be added to the pots they're in now. They'll root from the stem. When transplanting, they can be buried almost up to the cotyledons.

That would be hilarious if someone buries the leaves too . Photosynthesis be damned!!!

Plan to transplant outside when warm enough. I am moving them out now and then bring in early evening.
