Newbie w/ lots of ?'s re sundew and octopus

Hi,

My son and daughter saw an octopus plant and a sundew plant at Lowes today. We have been trying to find a VFT but they had none. I have figured out the sundew is a Drosera adelae but very long from lack of light (it was in a death cube, lol). We have opened the container already was this a no no? Can anyone tell me or link me good care instructions? Also should we transplant it? What size pot? What to put in the pot (dirt, compost, peatmoss) and where to get it? Do these need covers or an open pot? I really don't want to kill them. I'm in the rainy PNW if that changes the care instructions any.

Thanks so much!
