I'm completely new to CPs and am working on not killing my plants! I originally had this terrarium in a front window of my office, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't getting enough light. There is a 10ft overhang in front of the office. i've since moved it back into my office once I got my new SMD LED light. I'm wondering what you think of my setup, and especially what I should change. I've had them under the new light for about a week. I also believe I was over watering them when they were up front because once i let all of the water disappear from underneath in the rocks, they started to grow like weeds.

I'm in central Missouri

Once I moved them under the new light, they struggled a little. The sundew seemed to perc up first. The Crested is doing good now I think. The Muscupula isn't so happy yet.
I think my soil might not be deep enough. There is rock on the bottom, maybe an inch. The soil depth above the rocks is approx. 1 1/2".
Light, purchased from ebay.

60SMD LED (20 Red 600Nm & 40 UV Blue 400Nm)
110 Volts AC
10 Watts
Luminous Flux - 800LM (Ultraviolet (UVA) & Red Range Combined)
Inspected and Certified in the USA by an Engineer!
Works in standard 110V AC House Screw in Socket (E27)
Not Dimmable. here is a pic on how its setup. Do I have the light too close? My sundew came this way. Like the ice cream dome on an ice cream cone. Should I split this up and if so how. (I B clueless)
My Crested Petiole seems to be doing fine and handling all of the changes I've put it through. My poor dionaea Muscupula is struggling as I figure out wtf I'm doing. I could really use some help here.
