Bonsai help - normal or dying?

Question

hi i posted the other day about my seedlings but the main one (the one with the most growth) appears to be dying maybe. you can see two pics i put up the other day and pic showing it as healthy two days ago and a pic from today showing the five parts curling. is this normal or is it dying. my pots are not waterlogged so i dont think it can be root rot. view pics http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=138490&l=276dc&id=567955110

Hi, Jess

It looks like these wee seedlings are actually suffering from being a bit dry. Try placing your planters on a bed of gravel in another, larger dish with water in the gravel to raise humidity in the area without having them in soggy planting medium. You may even need to place a large jar upside down over the plants to work as a temporary mini-greenhouse.
