Awww, I've got a little pilea that's getting so tall she's leggy. I'm too scared to cut it, lol! Still just a baby but too long to stand properly.

Leggy plants usually need more sunlight. My pilea actually likes a lot of it (east facing window with direct sunlight in the morning).

When its too fragile to stand by itself, you can support it with a stick. Momma also got some support.
