Re: How much sunlight?
Most Drosera will thrive in full sunlight. You do need to take some precautions as David said by ensuring they have enough water in a tray to ensure that they do not dry out. If the plant is new you may need to climatise it. If you know the plant came from near by then replicate those conditions (if possible) and gradually introduce to yours.
The amount of colouration in a plant is dependent on the amount of light. If you like green plants then keep the light low. If you like the red tones than you will need a lot of light.
Of courses there are always exceptions. If you grow D. adelae they generally prefer a shaded position and if yo uare fortunate enough to get the adelae's 'sister', D. schizandra then you will need to provide full shade. It is best to research the conditions the plant naturally grows in. Hope this helps a little. Cheers.
