Question Pitcher Plant & Sundew Question

After reading posts about using sundews to help control fungus gnats, I bought one a year and a half ago. It grew nicely, and I wonder if I need to do anything special with it. It is planted in live moss in a pot (came that way) and is sitting in a bowl of distilled water. It grew from 1 plant to a potful as seen in the picture. There are also roots coming out the bottom and new little plants growing off the roots. This is my first sundew, should I just leave it the way it is or do something with the baby plants? Does it need to be growing in moss?

My other question is about a pitcher plant that I just bought. It came without an id so I have no idea what variety it is. Can anyone tell me if it is going to get much bigger? There were other pitcher plants that looked different and were much bigger. I was just wondering if this plant is a variety that doesn't grow big. At the nursery it said not to touch the pitchers because that will cause them damage, is that true?

Any advise would be appreciated!
