Looks like some of the seeds inside the TC containers have mold.
There is a small circle around the seed. Is that mold?

What to do? And how to prevent it on the next batch?

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the reply.
I used the steps on your site:

Quick dip in 91% ethanol alcohol. I sued 96%, only I could find, problem?
2 to 3 minutes in 3% Hydrogen Peroxide.
Soak in 10% bleach. 6 minutes for Drosera and Cephalotus, 10 minutes for Dionaea seed, 12 minutes for Sarracenia.
3 minute rinse in sterile water
Transfer to media – I use forceps to pick up each individual seed. A wire ring works well too.

It this the 'cleansing agent' you are talking about?

Thanks!
