It requires a little bit of zeroing in, but after getting a proper light, for a Drosera Binata all you have to do is keep it in a tray of standing water, either distilled or reverse osmosis (you can use rain water, but I don't have a reliable way of collecting it at the moment).
The skull container has a Utricularia Reniformis - that one gets a little trickier and requires a little bit more of paying attention, but same deal essentially. You tend to let that one dry out a bit more between watering. This is my first Utricularia, and it hasn't flowered yet, but it's giving me tons of new growth every time I look... hopefully soon!
That's really cool. It sounds straightforward but I'm sure it needs attention and practice in order to develop a good intuition for it.
Working from home helps, you can notice stuff right away. Once you get it zeroed in, a lot of it is just water and make sure the timer ticks on for the light.
