Your main problem will be finding Genlisea... they aren't the plants that are really in demand right now.
Media: I have used pure peat and a sand and peat mix. They are not fussy.
Light: Give them as much as you can.
Dormancy: None. They are tropical plants. (60-80 F is a good rule.)
Terrariums: Go ahead, but I have seen them rot in very high humidity.
Pots: Anything goes.
Watering: Lightly moist... waterlogging the media is something I don't recommend.
Other Tidbits: Plants die back from time to time... do not discard, because they will often grow back from the underground traps. Whenever I transplant, my Genlisea die back and briefly regrow.
There is a section for Utricularia, Aldrovanda and Genlisea. Please post any other Genlisea related inquiries there.

I had one, but it was one of several fatalities linked to my new hatred of earthworms.
