Geranium seedlings: too little soil?

Have I been too stingy with soil here and would these guys be happier with soil up to the top (bar 1cm or so)? On average they are just over half / two thirds full. They came from tiny seedlings bought a few weeks ago. It just occurred to me perhaps they are getting slightly limited light as a result. Plan is to move them to a window box and bigger container once more established. I'm pretty inexperienced. Thanks in advance!

I think they’ll be fine. Tiny seedlings like that I actually might have potted up into something smaller to start with but now things are getting going they should be fine. Maximum light, somewhere relatively warm and don’t over water them.

Thank you @LadyGardenersQuestionTime ! i was definitely guilty of overwatering at first but taking more measured approach now. Sadly the sun has disappeared for the day it seems.

They’re doing fine! Don’t worry! Most of their light comes from above anyway,

by the way, those are pelargoniums, aren’t they, not geraniums. They used to be referred to by gardeners as Geranium, but although closely related they’re in a different genus (Pelargonium not Geranium), and the name geranium is nowadays reserved for the genus Geranium, which are the hardy outdoor ones.
