My VFT seedlings are falling over is it because I used pure peat? They have a root still growing into the peat but they lay over on their side. I took a tooth pick and pushed them down till they stood back up. These are Steve_D seeds and also I may have a yellow or possibly an albino not sure yet. I will summit a photo soon.

It depends on how good your eyesight is. You should be able to see them unaided, but it's not easy because they're tiny. Here are some on a 1mm grid:

I found some in my outside plants but none in my seedling container.
