The fly trap and sarracenia grow in similar conditions. They should be constantly wet sitting in some water and in the sun
The Nepenthes likes to be moist but not constantly wet, and prefers indirect sun
The Nepenthes you could grow on a sunny window, the other two will struggle indoors without a supplemental light imo.
Don’t worry about fertilizing until they’re established. It’s easy to accidentally kill these plants by trying to fertilize them, they naturally grow in nutrient deficient places. So I wouldn’t worry about that aspect for right now.
Water with only distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater if you don’t know for certain if your tap water is safe. Dissolved salts/solids will kill these plants over time.

The two plants on the left (Dionaea muscipula, Sarracenia) need a lot of sunlight. You can place their pots outside in a saucer that has always a bit of rainwater or distilled or RO water in it.
The one on the right (Nepenthes) can be grown indoors and it needs less water and light than the other two. But don’t let the medium dry out.
