Drosera regia with the tip of the leaves black

The leaves of my D. regia are turning black very fast, sometimes before they unfold completely. After I put them in the sun (50% filtered) I noticed that some leaves took longer to get black tips, they did not take sun before, they were only under indirect sunlight. Could it be that? I live in Brazil, it's summer now.

The plant seems to have lack of light. Very green. Mine is always much more red even in dormancy. Warm and too little light will result in hunger.
But it is a guess I live not in a tropical climate.
Summer in South Africa means long days, quite hot and relative strong sunlight. Drosera regia lives not in a jungle it likes open sun exposed places.
But when outside keep it for some weeks shaded otherwise it will get sunburn. When it turns red you can expose it to more sunlight.
