Hello!
I started to feed my pinguiculas dried bloodworms that had been in water first last week, and today i notice white mold on the bloodworms on the leaves. They are inside a mini-greenhouse and I have the ventilation thing on it open, but still It's moldy. What should I do? They are not standing in water. Should I get a mini fan and put it on the ventilation hole?
Thankfull for help!

Feed less, and remove the moldy worms with tweezers.

I gave them like 1 bloodworm or so

Hey there davvekavve, do you know that kind of Pinguicula these are? (Mexican, cold temperate, warm temperate etc.) You may find that adding a fan or giving the terrarium more ventilation in another way helps to reduce the mould. Alternatively, you may be able to very gently wipe the surface of the leaf to remove both the bloodworm and the mould in one swoop, although I know this is only a temporary solution. You could also try using dried bloodworms without soaking them first.
