I would suggest putting more holes in the lid. The more holes, the better airflow, better airflow means less chance of mold growing. I do not think algae will harm the seedlings. The peat is also a little chunky, but that will not hinder germination. Old seeds can take several months to sprout. Have patience, and the plants will grow themselves!
Good luck!

Looks fine. I wouldn't stress now. A little algae is nothing to worry about. How long ago were they sowed? Carnivorous plant seedlings take a little while to show life if you didn't already know.

Yeah, I recently germinated some Drosera and they grew through the light film of Algae, I wouldn't sweat that too much either. They're just as small.

did you rinse your soil and sterilize it? That can help reduce the non-desirable growth... next time.

Hi
I would ditch the lids they don't require high humidity for germination and that can encourage mould. I am struggling to see the seeds I'm afraid, although I no longer have 20/20 vision. If all is OK they should show at any time.
Cheers
Steve
