Butterwort (Pinguicula) dying from mold?

11 years ago

Hi.

I bought a butterwort from my local garden center, when I brought it home it looked perfectly fine.

Unfortunately about 2 weeks later it was starting to get mold on the
leaves, and about 3 months later it died from the mold but I was able to
save 3 of the seedlings.

One of the seedlings died from getting to dry.
the other 2 are getting mold as well, any ideas why?, I have them in a
mix of 50%
peat and 50% perlite, I keep them sitting in about 1/2 inch distilled
water, is that ok? Some of the leaves also look a bit grey in some spots.

Picture below shows the mold.

Thank you very much.

Ethan
