Sarracenia help for brown tips

[Niki]

Hey guys,
I'm new here and trying my hand (again) at keeping Carnivorous plants. I'm having trouble with my Sarracenia. The tips always turn brown, even on new pitchers. I'm attaching pictures of my "set up" so you can see how far away the Sarracenia is away from the light. My other carnivorous plants are doing well (I believe). I only use distilled water, it's always got water in the dish. I do have a grow light but I've moved the Sarracenia away since I thought that might be causing the brown tips. I mist my carnivorous plants 3 times a day to give some sort of humidity. I live in Central FL and they are in a south facing window. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Also, there is a standing fan that is on all day/night, not blowing directly on them but close. Could that be the culprit?

Hello! Are the Sarracenia new to you? The misting a couple times a day does very little for minutes a day, I would just let them acclimate to what you are providing. I would put that Sarracenia outside, if at all possible.
Here is a thread I did on putting Sarrs outside here in the deserts of Tucson, Az My outdoor Tucson, Az Sarracenia
Here is a thread of Drosera out in the same 8% humidity enough for Drosera dew? Yes.

Hope that helps!

Thank you! I could put it outside but the last time I put my pitcher plant outside, something chewed all the pitchers off the first night Also, my balcony doesn't offer much direct sunlight, just morning sun and a little bit of afternoon sun. That's why I have everybody inside under a grow light. I could get a small greenhouse and keep them outside in that. Would you recommend i put all of my carnivorous plants outside? I also have a Venus Fly Trap, drosera capensis, sundew and nepenthes.

I would never suggest a small greenhouse, I live where it's hot and they bake so fast... I don't know how they work in other climates. Your Sarracenia and Venus flytrap will both accept a lot of artificial light to supplement a window for best performance. Nepenthes can take quite a bit less and Drosera are mostly very adaptable and will be fine with bright or less light (will affect size and color). Also keep in mind your VFT and Sarr will need winter dormancy so may want to put some time into what does that mean. Your balcony will probably be fine (light wise) for that, heck they may be fine out there all year TBH.
