I started my seeds of blue shrimp plant and they are real long frail looking things hanging over the tray. What have I done wrong? They don't look like they are going to EVER be ANYTHING! I have them in my washroom and they don't get tons of light...do seedlings need alot of light? This is my first time with seeds and the only reason I am doing them is because I can't find this plant anywhere.

Yes, they are in need of more light than you are providing. Usually thr light fictures used topropriThe long skinny stems are as a result of cells in the stem elongating to try to reach sunlight. The idel seedling should be short and stocky.

Oh my, well I guess mine are goners...
Don't give up. Place them in some indirect bright light to start with then slowly inch them into a window sill. Be careful not to let them burn in direct sun.
