That's...pretty much it. They must be kept in non-porous pots and trays (glass or plastic), water TDS must be below 50 ppm and keep water in the tray constantly. They will even bloom with gorgeous little flowers. No fertilizer ever, just bugs.
I can't emphasize enough a sunny spot. This window faces southwest and so it gets 8 hours of direct sun. This helps with growth and also makes the mucus shine which seems to attract the bugs.
I am, and I have them under a grow light but their leaves have been turning black. I think I'm just frying it with the direct sun that comes through the window, but I've blocked that so hopefully they turn around.
I'm not sure what else could be turning the leaves that black color before they even mature, but if you had any tips that'd be great. Hopefully closing the blinds on that window are all I need to do.
They can take the sun, I'd look at your water. Distilled or reverse osmosis water only, TDS should be below 50. You can get a cheap TDS meter for under $20 if you're not sure.
