Long pale stems bending toward the window in the first week mean the light is too weak or too far away, and the plant will stay floppy for the rest of its life. Bringing a small LED down to about 40 centimetres and adding a gentle fan fixes it before the damage sets in.

Windowsill starts almost always end up leggy.
