Does anyone know how to prep dry bloodworms for a Pinguicula?  
Update: don’t use blood worms! They burn the leaves and she’s fine without them 😊

I guess I don’t have enough bugs because this one has been clean for most of the time. I tried putting a banana peel in a cup next to it but that didn’t work. I found a video on YouTube by a kid who uses dried worms. I did what he did and I will post about it.
