Novice, help needed

Hello,
I have been following this list for some time now without taking
active part in the discussions. But now just in a few weeks I have
obtained 6 different CPs (some gifts, some bought). I have previously
only tried keeping our local Swedish CPs outdoors, and even that
was several years ago. I have no experience keeping tropical CPs
indoors in pots, so I need some advice from you experts!

My plant list (names are from the labels, most plants are grown by a Dutch
firm). All plants are kept with ~ 1 cm water on the saucer at room
temperature and 60 - 65 % hudmidity:

* Drosera capensis: My oldest plant (4 weeks). Repotted in half
* peat/half sand.
About to flower. New plants:
* Drosera spp: 2-3 cm long, 1 cm wide leaves in a thight rosette
close to the soil.
* Pinguicula moranensis: Flowering large purple flowers.
* Saracenia hybride: Long (20 cm), green, upright pitchers, new (small)
pitchers are red.
* Nepentes hybride:

Collected in Florida:
* Utricularia: aquatic, 2 species, one small single strand with bladders
(gibba?) and one with a central stem with fine leaves and
lots of bladders.

Any hints or ideas are welcome. Even (especially) basic advice how to arrange
a suitable environment for the CPs.
