I received most of my plants about two weeks ago and transplanted them into my terrarium. Since then I've been taking photos every day or two to track their progress. The problem is: it's been 15 years since I did much of anything with CPs (or any plant), and even then I was no expert. So I'd love to get some insights.
These photos were taken about 4.5 days apart for a total span of 9 days. The first is from about 4 days after transplant.
Big Mouth VFT:

Australian Red Rosetted:

Drosera Capensis:

Sarr - Scarlette Bell:

So the traps on the VFTs, especially the Big Mouth, have turned much redder especially on the new growth. That seems like a good sign to me. And the new traps seem reasonably sized, at least on the Big Mouth. The ARR is showing much more limited growth. What other markers are apparent that indicate positive or negative conditions?
The Capensis is a little odd. I've watched several new leaves unfurl, the first of which curled completely backward upon itself despite looking otherwise healthy. Each successive new leaf has a little more dew than the last, which I think is a good sign, though even the newest has a pretty modest dew level to my eyes.
The new growth on my Sarr is very green and very tall, not to mention very vertical. I know the least about Sarrs. How does this guy look? Is he healthy? Is there anything I should look to change? Does the tall new growth indicate good health because it has enough resources to grow so large, or bad health in that it's reaching for more light?
Thanks!
