Hello,
I have just started on the bonsai journey.
With no more horitculture/botany experience than planting some peas and raddish seeds as a kid and more recently mowing the lawn when it gets high enough to loose small children in, I have started to grow a bonsai Eucalyptus Jacksonii (Red Tingle) from seed.

My seeds were planted 36 days ago. After 14 days I had six seedlings.
In the last three days all the seedlings have sprouted their first post sprouting leaves. Now the cotyledon leaves on three of the plants have begun to curl.

Is this normal?
Is this likely to be 'leaf curl disease'?

Any hints/tips/experiences appreciated.
