First pic is today. Second is immediately after repotting them yesterday. Third is from Monday in what I had them in before.

So I just repotted my pinguicula primulifloras and they look bad. I'm not sure if it is from the repotting I did or something else I might have done wrong.

I just repotted them yesterday into 50:50 perlite and peat moss with a little bit of spagnum mixed in too. I also tried flattening them out more so that the leaves weren't buried so much. Previously I had them in a bowl with rocks at the bottom, then spagnum, then peat moss.

They are next to a West facing window, but not directly in the window so they don't get burnt.

I thought that they were supposed to have their pots in water 24/7, but I'm having trouble finding information on prims specifically. I currently don’t have them sitting in water, but they were sitting in water this morning and all day yesterday. So can I have clarification on watering for pinguicula primulifloras? 

I'm having a hard time with them, and hoped they'd be easier like venus fly traps (which I keep outside). Anyways, I'm lowkey panicing because the teeny tiny ones that I had have already died and I don't want to lose the rest. 

So is there something I can do to help them? Or if I just need to leave them alone? Also, how should I be watering them? Thanks for the advice in advance!

So I got these pings almost a month ago and I started with 6, but now there’s only 3.

The bowl has rocks, then spagnum moss, then peat on top. I only water them with rainwater or distilled water. I had them outside but didn’t want them to burn so I brought them inside.

Do they look okay? How do I help them thrive and not die? Do I need different substrate?

My mom gave them to me so I really don’t want to kill them. Thanks in advance :)
