Growing from Seed

apple seedling willted

12 years ago

I had been growing one seedling about a month. I went away for a few days and when I came back it was bent over the the stem wasn't broken, just limp. It had water and sunlight. I am not sure what happened and I was never any good at growing trees from seed. I have 2 other seedlings growing now and I don't want to make the same mistake as I did with the last one, can anyone help please.
