Welcome to
There is a soil fungus that causes what is called “damping off” if the soil is kept too moist around the new stem. Try watering around the plant at least a couple inches away from the stem. The water will form a upside-down cone under the surface, which will moisten the soil under the seedling where you want the roots to grow.
