Help with uricularia with no flowers

Hi to all,
I have a problem with my utricularia sandersonii. Since last week it lived
in the shade at the bottom corner of my balcony, but as the little stems
started to develop flowers, these would get burned (they turn brown and dry
up). Now it is a week that I keep a plexiglass sheet over the vase in order
to increase the humidity, but no flowers seem to manage to grow yet, even
though the stems don't seem to burn immedately. For an error that I made at
the beginning, I planted it in peat and sand 1:1, but the sand raised the pH
of the soil to a value of about 6.5. Anyway the bottom leaves are in good
health and are propagating.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
thanks in advance
