Is My App for ID. Correct ?

In my intro., I promised to get these plants properly ID'd.

I bought them online. Knowing full well, "Some Sellers, Just Sell !".

I fancy myself as having, "A Decent Green Thumb", and an itchy online research finger !

So here goes,

The photos were taken by me. Then the app ID'd them and provided, care instructions .

For me, "Proper Care", is critical, to my having success.

Tell me if, "the ID." is correct, as well as the, "Care Instructions" ?

Thx in advance !

Btw - Excuse my work bench !

The Crimson Pitcher(?) was sold as a "Judith Hindle".

First pic, intermedia, probably correct. Could be a capillaris, pic doesn't enlarge well to see.
Second, lots of Sarrs produce phyllodia, including leucophylla, probably best to wait until it produces actual pitchers to be certain.
Third, the two-fer. 3A, I'm going to say not a purpurea, but it also looks to be young yet, so I could be wrong. I've seen juvenile purp pitchers that don't look anything like mature purp pitchers.
3B, not anglica, capensis.

I’d say:

First pic- Dx tokaiensis (not intermedia)
Second pic- hard to tell. With only phyllodia it can be a leuco but also can be a flava or any other upright species/hybrid. ‘Judith Hindle’ is probably the correct ID.
Third pic- doesn’t look like purp to me. The hood is too flopped over. My guess is ‘Bug Bat’ or some other minor hybrid.
Fourth pic- D. capensis (not anglica)

Well these guys have the ID's taken care of, but I wanted to chip in and say that all of these are full sun plants. I have no idea why that app is recommending indirect light because that's how you get them looking as ratty and colorless as they do in these pictures.

And never fertilize. Never is a strong word but fertilizing carnivorous plants is not for beginners.

Yeah I generally consider fertilization an advanced cultivation technique. Something to worry about a few years down the road.

The third pic looks like a S. Castebei to me.
