help with hibiscus seedlings

Hi everyone,

I'm new on this site and have just recently became addicted on planting all kinds of seeds. One of them are hibiscus 'Simply love'. I got them to germinate relatively quickly but days after the seedlings have emerged they start dying! Not sure why? Few of them just dyed and two that I have left look nice, still with the one set of baby leafs but their heads are now bending and turning down..is this normal?I'm keeping them inside and not over-watering, on the daylight during the day and under a lamp during night. Is this ok? Or should I keep them in the dark for one part of the night? They are my last two and I don't want to lose them :(( should I continue to keep them on the warm propagator? Please help!
