My dying little plants...

First some good news: My Ping just put up a neat flower, I am tickled
pink. This plant seems to want to colonize my entire terrarium, since
it puts out tiny plantlets from the leafs continuously.

The bad news: My unknown Drosera (poss D. linearis) all seem to have
a death wish; the leaves keep dying, starting at the tip, working back
to the main stem. Even the little ones seem to do this -- I hope someone
my have some good advice. All my plants are in peat in a 70 gal.
terrarium w/2 tubes for light. I don't know if it is related, but my
"clump-o-drosera" is putting up pink flowers that seem to get fungus
and die; this doesn't seem to bother the plant at all.
Of course, they may be dying and then getting fungus.

Any advice would be appreciated.
