Asian Pitcher & Sundew not doing well


Question
Hi,
   I bought an Asian Pitcher and a Sundew plant about a month ago. They seemed to be doing great for a while, the pitcher plant had two pitchers go brown and I cut them off and a third pitcher that seemed half developed when the plant arrived turned brown so I cut that off. No more pitchers have started growing as far as I can tell, the ones you see in the picture I have linked on the bottom have been there since the plant arrived. My Sundew seemed to be doing great, nice green leaves with a fair amount of dew on them. Since a week ago the Sundew seems to have dried up and the leaves have turned red.
    They both get ~7 hours of sun in a south facing window each day unless it's cloudy, I live near Jackson, MI. I've been keeping the Sundew in about 2 inches of water and keeping the pitcher plant moist. I've been using some reverse osmosis filtered water from the local grocery store. Is there anything I can (need to?) do to do help them? Thank you!

Answer
Thank you for including the links to your photos.  This helps me out a lot.  The Nepenthes is healthy.  Sometimes this plant will drop its pitchers when it changes environments.  We attempt to acclimate plants to withstand a wide range of growing conditions, but some plants will drop its pitchers regardless of what we do.  Give your plant time.  Sometimes it can take several months for Nepenthes to fully acclimate to a new location.  

The Drosera adelae is a bit more concerning.  This looks like the lighting is too strong and the temperatures are too warm.  This particular species appreciates mild temperatures and mild lighting.  Given the nature of this plant and your location, back off on the lighting.  Move it off to the side where it can get bright filtered light, but no direct sun.  This will help the plant recover and get through the warm summer months ahead.  It may take a couple months for the plant to produce the large, green leaves again.

Species that appreciate really hot sunny windows include Drosera scorpiodes, Drosera filiformis, Drosera multifida and Drosera 'Marston Dragaon.'  You could give these species a try in that location.  

Good growing!
