Can I trim this flamboyant tree seedling to promote new growth

[Gambitgriz]

The middle one came out struggling and was wondering if I should trim the top of it to promote new growth? Not sure how that works, would I cut it parallel to the ground or a 45° angle.

Also they seem kind of sad, light green and leaves dropping. I'm guessing the light green is because of water necessities?

I know the flamboyan tree grows in hot and humid places but I also read they're pretty resilient. I have a grow light that has white, red, and blue and a timer.

Lastly should I be using a fan to simulate wind since it might lead to a stronger branch??

Definitely not. Seedlings have basically zero margin of error. Any disturbance means death.

Adding a fan will help with general overall health. I keep fans running 24/7 in my light garden.

Any specific reason why you are germinating under grow lights? (hence my question about your location)
