For the quick fix solution;

Give 'em( each string) a firm yet not violent tug about 10 times, each string, retune, and repeat 2 or 3 additional cycles.

Regulating the temperaure & humidity factor into your guitar staying in tune as well.

All strings need constant tuning for a day or two. Hang in there. Take a pencil under the strings over the sound hole and pull up gently. Then tune.

About two days, but it gets less frequent. Nylon strings stretch a lot.
