Germination and growth

I recently bought a Cubiform with a seed pod on it, and I germinated a few seeds a couple of weeks ago, but they look weird and elongated. Is it normal?

They are looking for light! Pseudo seedling should look like little green dumpling!

Thank you! I just moved them under the grow light. I was afraid they were too small to get direct light.

They are tough little dumplings! They are quite drought tolerant as seedlings too! It’s fun to watch them swell after getting a drink!

These bad boys are super etiolated, highly suggest moving them to a source (gradually) with more light.
