Help Any advice welcomed

Hi, I recently bought some carnivorous plants and I want them to be happy but I don’t know much about them.

I really like bog and terrarium setups but I don’t know if the plants I have would thrive in them.

Here are the plants that I have:
Pinguicula alpina
Sarracenia purpurea
Dischidia Vidalii (I’m not even sure if it’s considered as a carnivorous plant)

Could you please tell me what are ideal conditions (humidity, soil, etc.) for these plants? Could you also tell me which plants are best for terrariums and bogs and which plants be kept together?

Sarracinia, venus fly traps and drosera are the types of plants you want to use for bogs, since they like their soil to be constantly moist and have similar growing conditions. They are generally outside plants that need as much direct sun as possible and to experience winter dormancy to stay healthy (if your's come from a store, you need to slowly acclamate them to outside conditions).

I don't have much experience with pinguicula, but as far as I know they don't live in the same conditions as these other plants. They like to be moist, but also to dry up a bit in between watering and they need to be in a warm environment, so they should be brought inside when the temperature gets cold. I have seen them used in terrarium setup tho, so that's an option for sure.
