So this isn't an issue for all of my droseras. I noticed certain kinds won't curls or produce enzyme before the rehydrated bloodworms dries out.

Does this mean the food I provided isn't being efficiently used? Should I consider spraying them with Maxsea?

Thanks!

What I have bin doing is put so dried worms in a shot glass and add a little water then suck it up with a baby medicine syringe seems to work well

I usually just put them in a shot glass, spray them down until a puddle accumulates, and then pick them up with a pair of tweezers.

Another easy way is just to mix up some Maxsea or other suitable water-soluble fertilizer and spray it on the leaves. Works great for pings and Byblis too. Make sure not to get it into the soil though, or you'll have algae.

I mean I use the worm water the worms were in I also smash them up as best I can so the water had all the nutrients in it the drop the water on the leaves I've never dehydrate my werms to use them I always used them dry

That happens to my Drosera as well. So I just use MaxSea as my only fertilizer. I suspect misting with regular water would work too.

Try soaking the blood worms in water for 10 minutes or so. That works perfectly for my droseras.
