What causes "Leggy" seedlings?

I planted sunfolwer seeds in cell packs, and now they're tall with a pair

of
leaves, some with 2 pairs, but they're staarting to fall over! Too soon to
plant outdoors... should I repot them and stake them now? They're only

2-3"
tall and can't stand on their own?! Is this normal?
Thanks!



Did you plant these seedlings on a window sill? That causes leggy seedlings,
because the plants grow only in one direction, instead of following the sun
across the horizon. One way to reduce this, is to rotate the container every
day.
