Correct sp. is leucophylla (leuco = white, phylla = leaves), which is
a very appropriate name.

Whether this lot needs a terrarium depends on what conditions you
have (greenhouse, outside, windowsill, or whatever). They are all
pretty tough and probably don't appreciate being mollycoddled (is
that a proper word?) too much. I'd just stand them in an open water
tray in natural light if you have enough of it.
Drosera binata shouldn't be a problem. It dies down in Winter, and
will stand temperatures around freezing. I can well imagine it being
a weed - when I once left a plant in the same pot for a few years, it
needed considerable effort to pull apart the resulting mass of
rhizomes for planting separately.
