Cotyledons Leafs turning down

Is it normal for the cotyledon leafs to bend down ? It is happening in all 3 plants... I'm afraid it can be an issue related to Heat... any comments ?

Yes, it is completely normal. The cotyledons fold back like that to expose the meristem (growing tip). Cotyledons are not really leaves in the true sense, but more of a protective "shield" over the meristem, so it doesn't get damaged when pushing through the soil. The first "true" leaves are the ones with the serrated edges. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.
